Only A Dream

Only A Dream

Onward he pushes
Through bitter winds and snow
Searching for a place
He can call home
Call his own

He constantly
Thinks of it
Dreams of it
Wants it to happen...
But how


What does he have
To offer... anyone
He's a broken man
What he once had
He has no more
No hope, no future, no love

So he pulls his collar
Tightly around him
And continues on

EyesOfRain commented on Only A Dream

I have read this poem about five times, never knowing what to comment. I know so many men that can relate to these feelings that you have portrayed. Somewhere out there is a place for the man in this poem. I hope he finds his peace and a place to call home. You wrote this piece in such a heartfelt way that anyone who reads it must be moved. Excellent work.

Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
