Can you hope to shed the light <br />To stop <br />the faithful laughter, embezzled into stone <br />and mountain which speaks of dreams <br /> <br />A dream illusive, a nifty title <br />Frame to frame through thought to thought <br />And caring to much of feeble disregards <br />But wait, look at this from a distance <br /> <br />Stand where I stand, do as I do <br />Gaze upon this meaningless splendor <br />It’s a tree, dead and forgotten <br />A perfect metaphor for joy <br /> <br />Can you hope to shed your light <br />Honestly be the being, of your meant destiny <br />A meant purpose for worldly things <br />Do you think you can shed a light <br />Because I can, and I will <br />All I have to do is get up and flick the switch <br /> <br />This my friend, is a dream illusive<br /><br />Troy Clark<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-dream-illusive/
