'The stars seems to vanish in the skies <br />As I gazed into this lonely night <br />For it's hard to see with wearied eyes <br />The blinking stardust of distant lights <br /> <br />Alone I face this moonless night <br />And feel such longing <br />In my far away shore <br />But as I see these scattered pebbles <br />And many tire tracks <br />On this deserted road <br />With the gentle swaying <br />Of the nearby trees <br />It's a wonder... <br />For everything in this moment of sadness <br />Crumbles... and I just go on <br />With life and think of the dreams <br />Of my love ones back home <br /> <br />This tender night of darkened skies <br />Regret is not a thing to be carried <br />For love is not desert, trees or poetry <br />But sacrifice that one should aspire.'<br /><br />Jesus James Llorico<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dreams-774/
