gather them, gather them <br />into your hand, <br />year after year like some <br />great pile of sand, <br />like a soft hurricane <br />in the back of your brain, <br />keeps on blowin around <br />goin nowhere........... <br /> <br />gather them, gather them <br />lasting as dew, <br />gone with the dawn like <br />a vanishing mood, , <br />like an item misplaced <br />or a garden laid waste <br />thru neglect, so that nothing <br />will grow there...... <br /> <br />such are the dreams entertained, <br />such are the heights we've ascended. <br />tho nothing's lost, what have we gained <br />if all that remains is pretended? <br /> <br />gather them, gather them <br />finally believe, <br />start in the heart <br />with the dreams you conceive <br />resurrect them and prove <br />there are mountains to move <br />waiting patiently there <br />in surrender........ <br /> <br />gather them, fathom their <br />meaning and cost <br />grasping at last <br />what must never be lost. <br />gather and form them like <br />oncoming storms. <br />we are all either gods or <br />pretenders.... <br /> <br />such is the power at hand <br />such is our blessed tuition, <br />so gather them <br />all you desire, command! <br />and cause them to come to fruition.<br /><br />moon batchelder<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dreams-or-gather-them-gather-them/
