The Dream Attainable
The Dream Attainable

The dream attainable
is like tomorrow
we can reach for it
hands eager to receive
forever betrayed
as our touch transforms
the day into the present
tomorrow become today.

And so the dream
on realisation
always evaporates
into reality
now grasped and owned
and from the shadows
comes the call alluring
of another dream.
