Once Upon a Time

Once upon a time

I said to a friend

"It's okay to mourn

the loss of a dream."

It's okay to weep

for what's unrealized,

unheard,

unseen.

Once

I was asked

"What happens when

your dream is achieved?"

I said

"That's easy to answer.

You simply dream

another dream."

Once upon a time,

It was easy to see

your thoughts and ideas

my dreams and ideals.

The vision of heaven

and nightmares of hell.

To hear the singing of angels

and the tolling of bells.

Once upon a time

I thought that I knew

of happy endings

for me and for you.

"It's okay to mourn

the loss of a dream."

Unrealized.

Unheard.

Unseen.
