Description
Take a breath and scream insideecho off of unseen hills.
Walk along the rolling tide
bend it gently to your will.
Life's frustrations get you nowhere
way too fast it always seems.
I reach for what I'll never have
then turn back to my bag of dreams.
Open eyes that's sealed with rust
from tears that fall to a heart of tin.
See the map sketched in the dust
to dreams that's been forgot again.
Follow paths of indecision
leading on in circled form.
Beggin for a friend's provision
a hand to pull you from the storm.
I see the dream I've chased so long
fall right through my shaking hands.
Shattered by the demon's song
that echoes out through darkened lands.
Slowly standing to my feet
I stand alone, or so it seems.
And follow the next point of light
and chase after my Muted Dreams.

absolutely wonderful piece... its songlike in its flow and (yes, its already been mentioned) gives you a spark of hope at the end, but it never feels like you would give up, it just feels like you're going to keep moving towards your dreams no matter what happens... congratulations on a truly inspiring piece

you may feel you stand alone in the pursuit of dreams but you never stand alone. Your poem is wonderful. Your poem is sad. Your sad, wonderful poems always contain a spark of redemption. I think it's you, I know it's you and your relationship to life, to family, to God. So you stand and take the next step.
See, poems, perhaps a majority of the sad poems posted here, don't end with the hope you exhibit when you stand and, in spite of your weariness and failure, take a step. I admire you and your talent, greatly.
