Lost To Hope

I once had a dream.
But living in its shadow
became all I knew.

Then I saw it again.
More glorious than I remembered.
More precarious than I realized.

When I reached for it, it toppled.
Crushed beneath, I no longer see
the dream, the shadow, me.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
