Remembering

Did you have a dream, now half forgotten

as other choices have buried it deep?

Did life’s steps seem to lead ever further away

from self promises that you did not keep?

So what’s in a dream? Does it no longer apply?

Why discard or forget it for years?

Was it merely convenience - an unconscious move -

to slip it behind life’s many fears?

Is there now a longing - or a vacuum for some -

a void that nothing can fill?

that niggles and nags and intrudes in your head

leaving you restless and frustrated - until -

You unseal that dream, now half remembered,

uncovered by winds blowing true.

Make the choice now to dig, release and remember,

so life’s steps can return you to you.
