Solidified Dreams
dreams that were ethereal particles of longing
amass together, forming decisions
that solidify with the passage of time
into unchangeable reality
marking my time line
making immovable
the dance of new possibilities
I wonder
what might have been
had the particles of longing
remained
flitting fantasies
on the periphery of my consciousness
refusing tangibility's reality
keeping the time line unmarked
clear
for possibilities to appear
Choices change chances
for alternate lives in time and place
and life's course converges on decisions made
along the way
by passion's petulant play
and wisdom's disarray
and one is left to wonder
what if....
what if that decision
were left
unmade.
