Dare to Dream (Photo credit: Karthick R)
Dare I wish?
These old forsaken hands
Can they clasp
To questions asked
Or works demand?
Dare I try?
To ignore the path of old
Be the scribe
To muted memory
And stories yet untold?
Dare I reach?
For brief moments of acclaim
Own these words
As more than musing
But a way to show my name?
Dare I dream?
There is meaning in my years
Not just each day
Drawing unto the next
In the veil of obscure tears?
