Referring To Dreams

“One” once asked, “What happens to a dream deferred?”
With credit to his thinking
I prefer to ponder 
What is the consequence 
Of a dream sought after, but never achieved?
Similar to the simple 
Yet more devastating from the demonstrator

From the creation, with internal vision
Visualizing the manifestation 
Maintaining the brick and mortar 
More and more over
Concrete planning 
Endorphins fueling the potential to be legendary 
Laying the ground work
Practiced and rehearsed 
Counting down for the perfect timing

As life moves along  
Seemingly further away from the actuation of mental inscriptions 
Placing real life situations 
In priority over prior workings 
Each moment becoming perfect time to procrastinate
“Adulting” acts as the distraction 
To break connections from follow through

Regretfully and woefully so
Looking back on the acts of life
Dreams dewindle to reality’s plight
“Withering” at daylight 
Awaking in the mid, at star’s peeks
Fallen into mediocrity
Medium efforts, materialize to minimal acquisition of visions to fruition 

To dream is to live in the future presently
And present the future with a gift 
Of achievement 
Concurrently congratulating 
In that currently, past and future meet
Thank you Langston
