I am no longer afraid to dream; <br />Whereas before, aspiration was made to seem <br />Too lofty a goal for a man like me- <br />I now know that one day, I might see <br />All my dreams marry with a wondrous reality; <br />This has not always been my mentality: <br />Before, I stunted my dreams under a cerebral ceiling, <br />Which only served to leave me with an uneasy feeling; <br />I am much obliged for the power of this gift, <br />Responsible for my mind's mediation and my soul's uplift! <br />Now, I am led by my dreams, and not contrariwise, <br />Which has served further, so that now I realize <br />That to truly dream, aspiration must be left unbound: <br />Yet, in order to fly, your feet need not leave the ground! <br /> <br />-Maurice Harris,9 February 2011<br /><br />Maurice Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/no-longer-afraid-to-dream/
