Waters

Hopes and Dreams
And half baked wishes

A bridge to the stars
That was never complete

Reaching, stretching, yearning
For the pure fire they offer

To burn away the harsh realities
Leaving only the memory of a better day

Bitter bitter medicine
When you learn the truth of life

That life is an illusion
A dream within a dream

Through which we walk
Half blined by the sleep of innocence

Ah, the tears make a sweet salt sea
So easy to drown in

Then again...
So easy to float in as well

Floating is key, drowing accomplished little more than feeding the fishes. Nice write man.

There is such depth to this, and like NikesRain said, quite thought provoking.

omg Dev, thought provoking to say the very least, starting off in a solemn way temper a little sadness into it and just sweep it skyward with the last lines, like releasing a dove.....wonderful
