Chasing dreams

Within the depths of our reflection,
a mirror to our very own hearts.
Pause, in deep introspection,
the key to understanding.
Our dreams are just out of sight,
our life’s direction.
Like stars twinkling midday,
they elude us, our fire quenchless.
We strive, we reach, with longing,
Our thirst, parched yet drenchless.
We trace the steps taken,
the paths we’ve tread,
Where we were mistaken,
where we’ve been, and where we’ve led.
we learn to grow.
we find our strength, we forge ahead,
We do not know,
yet discover the depths of our souls,
dreams burning but not bright.
Our rebirth. just out of reach, the means.
The future’s unknown, we run in the night-
blindly chasing dreams.
