Dreams to Reality

Expansiveness seen overhead, above and beyond
Opaque wispy blue tinted overspray white
Upon the breeze comes time and chance
To while away a conjured reality
Of hopes and dreams served on fine china
Suspended by fine fragile threads frayed
By the weathered storm of unkempt emotions
Battling life weary with worry and fear
To fall sleepless tiredly to a cold tile floor
Shattering the reality to build new castles
Of dreams of might and wonder tomorrow
Destroying what was, having to build anew.
