Sunlight and Shadows


Dreams

What dreams we have and how they fly

Just beyond our reach

They keep us looking at the sky

Eyes off of our feet

We trip and fall or hit a wall

Give our hearts and lose it all

End in hard defeat

With nothing left but bravely try

To stand within the breach

What dreams we have and how they fade

Just when we get near

Drawn by the shine of gold and jade

Feel success is sure

They slip away and faith betray

Into the dying of the day

Slamming of a door

But true hope though worn out and frayed

Will never disappear
