Robert Lindley Poet Rhyme

Wrestle Your Dreams, the Ones You Most Cherish

Wrestle Your Dreams, The Ones You Most Cherish

Fear what more, love lost or imminent death
life, its beauty extinguished, in last breath.
Hold this thought, that life exists to live on
and it has no more worth, once we are gone!
Just as rainbows can not be bought or sold
living dances better young, than when old.

Love not life too much, for joy holds no scales
night invades the day, sunshine's gold thus pales.
Measurable moments, mere gasps at large
Fate holds its powers boldly while in charge!
Just as rainbows can not be bought or sold
living dances better young, than when old.

Cry not for wants, yet beg for blessings true
nothing is better than, kindness in you
Walk with humble steps, as world spins about
no one while still alive, is getting out!
Just as rainbows can not be bought or sold
living dances better young, than when old.

Wrestle your dreams, the ones you most cherish
if allowed, they run away to perish.
Mold your chains, to keep them held true and fast
they hold keys to loving that truly last!
Just as rainbows can not be bought or sold
living dances better young, than when old.

M. L. Kiser April 4, 2019 at 5:44 AM So very true that, it "dances better young, than when old." We do have to grab those dreams, reel them in and run with them while there's time and energy. Well said. Robert Lindley April 20, 2019 at 2:57 PM Thank you my great fiend. Your kindness and support are both precious gifts to this old poet.

Caren Krutsinger April 3, 2019 at 5:54 PM I really like the style of this poem. I think it is more than a rhyme, but I am not knowing what; maybe you have invented a new style, Robert. It is beautifully done, and I truly like the repetitiveness of it. Well done indeed. "living dances better young than when old" delighted me. Robert Lindley April 20, 2019 at 2:56 PM Thank you my friend. Living truly does dance better young than when old..
