Whispers From the Shadows

A dream is like a rose
Appealing to the eye
Harmful to the touch
Illusion or reality

A dream is like a cloud
Pure as the sunshine
Yet can turn on upon you
Like a raging fire

A dream is like a river 
Always flowing to great lengths
Renewed by the rain
By a single tear

A dream is like a bird
Flies above endlessly 
Free to think, to feel, to love
To be touched by a single soul

To the shadows I go, for whispers to receive. For there are dreams out there, that we have to believe. Wonderful verse Shannon....:)
