Chasing Rainbows Out of Time (a pantoum)

Chasing rainbows out of time There is not room to pause Hesitate and be left behind Reluctance be the cause There is not room to pause When running after dreams Reluctance be the cause All is not as it seems When running after dreams The world can speed right passed All is not as it seems Can dreams be made to last? The world can speed right passed With a dream just out of reach Can dreams be made to last? Is there a price to pay for each? With a dream just out of reach The focus can be intense Is there a price to pay for each? Can the cost be too immense? The focus can be intense Yet, it can slip right through your fingers Can the cost be too immense When the pain from failure lingers? Yet, it can slip right through your fingers Through fists clenched with all your might When the pain from failure lingers Don't hold the past too tight Through fists clenched with all your might You cannot feel the world around you Don't hold the past too tight You will find that it has bound you You cannot feel the world around you Hesitate and be left behind You will find that it has bound you Chasing rainbows out of time
