Tarnished Dreams

It's just a simple dream hazed by brilliant sunlight tarnished by my wayward schemes, hidden in the dusty cobwebs that form in the shade of procrastination where time waits for no one; one day, I'll take them out again clinging to their easily forgotten efforts to polish and reflect in a brighter light the wonder of what could have been had they been achieved.

DM, I like this patina'd poem. It has Robert Burns' 'Best laid plans of mice and men' feeling. Unrealized dreams prove the resilient spirit and mettle that we're made of. I hope your week-end is kind to you. -Richard

Life is full of these things that we keep hidden away but can never totally forget. Wonderfully expressed.

Those 'dusty cobwebs' have formed in my subconscious as well. Evocatively penned, my friend. :) gw
