Dream Dunes
Time's eluding,
On the edge of life,
Early wishes blown,
By fate's charming fife.
Dreams forsaken,
Chances slip by,
Memories forgotten,
Evaporated in a sigh.
Promises of the past,
Apparitions of present,
Lost wandering stars,
Moon ever crescent.
Innocence and faith,
Too fictional to find,
Chasing phantasms,
Fantasies left behind.
Last strands of hope,
Either shortened or torn,
Like childhood stories,
With pages time-worn.
Sitting on the ledge of life,
I keep track of time's elusion,
Smoking my pipe dreams,
Until dream dunes' erosion.
But whispers of the heart,
Keep echoing in the night,
Yearning, missing, longing,
Until the dawn's dewy light.
