How soon we forget <br />The broken dreams of yesterday <br />Now scattered across the sands of time <br />Like broken bodies half covered and forgotten; <br /> <br />Each with his own <br />Dreams that never will come true <br />Carried on the winds to who knows where <br />Like a thought lost somewhere in mid sentence; <br /> <br />And will they appear <br />On the other side of awakening <br />To begin the journey one more time <br />Like a broken record going 'round and 'round? <br /> <br />How soon we forget <br />Today's sad news fades quickly <br />Into the hot dry sands of oblivion <br />And life goes on just as it always has <br /> <br />But for the grieving <br />Suspended now in their sorrow <br />Trying to make sense of utter senselessness <br />And retrieve those lost dreams for safe keeping.<br /><br />Linda Ori<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/lost-dreams-13/
