------Chasing Windmills------
The search for satisfaction,
peace and harmony
could these perhaps be hidden
in reality?
For somehow secret places
where dreamers often go
breeds bitterness and sorrow
each poet tells us so.
The heavy hearts and sadness
behind the search for love
always seems to linger,
when we are conscious of,
That loneliness inside our hearts
and peace we try to find
by chasing dreams on silver clouds
and mountains that we climb.
Yet, when our thoughts are focused
on surviving day to day,
those forlorn thoughts are cast aside
and emotions put away.
Could it be this frame of mind
is really what we seek
Still we don't stop to realize
we've reached our summit's peak.
