ELUSIVE DREAMS

~~ELUSIVE DREAMS

Where will we go when the day is done?
And the dawn has turned to dust
Our innocence lost when we were so young
As the golden rule silently rusts
Now comes the darkness a time for dreams
As we gently lay our heads
For reality we never know what it means
For life’s secrets cannot be read
Father time holds the key to futures past
And dreams that have not been dreamed
No one knows if life’s dreams will last
For the wisdom of life is seldom seen
Life is like a twinkle of an eye
As the days turn into life’s years
How too soon we must all say goodbye
As the journey of life disappears
Over the rainbow our dreams love to hide
It’s here our dreams run free
It’s here the future of life we decide
It’s here we find life’s key
Like the quiet turning of dusk into dawn
As we dream of things of tomorrow
For what is here today tomorrow is gone
Dreams are sacred and cannot be borrowed
Life is the dream that will never end
It’s nurtured by the spirit and soul
Dreams the ancient riddle that becomes our friend
Through time life’s wisdom is told
