When Youth’s roots stem with dreams: Infinite, as the shimmer of the night sky’s stars Blossoming into megawatts of galaxies, Megawatts of dreams , Carried deftly through lightly perfumed Youth - Let’s chase them while we can.
Yet while dreams are carried on this tickling free-willed pollen, A tiny spore of such fragility, Even the faintest of wrong winds could Lose it! Lose it! Winds of despair; Of not daring; Of incapability; Winds of constriction will change her course! With their vicious blast The beauty of dreams fades into that dense air; That dense air filled with broken dreams, Losing their journey of being carried, Being carried across new continents, Where the glories of dreams roam.
Yet! All it takes is the fiery force of Unfaltering passion To plant your tree of life from dreams into reality, To mould worlds of your visions - Let’s chase them while we can.
Like the journalists who lived to chase the truth and And the historians who lived to chase the past - Let’s chase them while we can.
Just dug this out from my treasure trove of documents - my first ever poem!
We should chase our dreams when our youth allows us to (let's chase them while we can) - it's easy, but then again, it's also tough.
