The Garden of Dreams

The success of resolutions depends on the self. -Michelle Liew

*****************************************

In the field of forgotten dreams

I stand, fingers grasping the gust of time

The earth crumbles softly under my feet

Where past dreams linger

With the scent of the wilting flowers.

*****************************************

I reach for the fragments of what might have been

But the dust drifts away

By worn wishes unspoken

The sun rises, oblivious to regrets

****************************************************

In the silence, I hear

The sound of my breathing

Each draw a vow,

Each exhale fulfillment

****************************************************

The year closes, but I wait not

For the earth’s renewal

I start once more

Ķnowing that I sow

Myself.
