The Build Up To a Fallen Dream

My ASPIRATIONS were TOUCHING the sky!
NOTHING could stop the way this would FLY!
EVERYTHING was on track...or so it did seem-
but.... 
"It Was The Build Up To A Fallen Dream!"

                  My VISION was FURTHER than the eye could see
                  Nothing...there was NOTHING that was going to STOP me!
                  Of ALL the crops of ideas.... "THIS WAS THE CREAM"-
                  but....
                  "It Was The Build Up To A Fallen Dream!"

My PURPOSE had meaning on ROCK solid ground!
It was DESIGNED on the basis to be SAFE and sound!
NO better motive could there be NOR a theme-
but....
"It Was The Build Up To A Fallen Dream!"

                   The DRIVE was INTENSE and driven to SUCCEED!
                   I COVERED all my bases-what MORE would I need?
                   It was TAKING OFF with a FULL head of steam-
                   but....
                   "It Was The Build Up To A Fallen Dream!"

My ASPIRATIONS, my VISIONS, my PURPOSE and my DRIVE-
ALL of these made me feel SO alive!!!
THIS WAS THE PINNACLE.... the ULTIMATE SUPREME....
alas....
"It Was The Build Up To A Fallen Dream!"

Anne-Lise Andresen March 2, 2016 at 12:13 PM - Dreams needs time, sometimes they need to rest and be a little more powerful - Sometimes we do not understand what the dream will tell us - Some dreams are never meant to become reality - A great poem, Walter - hugs // Anne-Lise :) Walter T. Ashe March 2, 2016 at 4:20 PM Anne-Lise, your words carry helpful insight and the point is to "realize our dreams" (thank you from your poem)

Daniel Turner March 1, 2016 at 3:00 PM You know what's been said,"The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry " really like the poem, Walter. Sorry it didn't work out. Walter T. Ashe March 1, 2016 at 3:20 PM Thank you Daniel! A door closing does allow for the opening of another... We must stay open and ready for ALL opportunities! Thank you!
