Midnight sky awakes
Milky Way explodes with dreams—
Hang on to each star
Remaining patient
Sometimes life comes full circle—
Second chance arrives
Trapped in harsh desert
Mountain of perseverance—
Thirst finally quenched
Beauty without words
Stirring each silent chorus—
Morning’s sunrise beams
Chilly summer night
Hint of early autumn dreams—
Calendar page turns
Woven together
Composing her melodies—
Harmony praising
The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.
Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart.
Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962) was a former first lady of the United States during her husband’s tenure as President (1933-1945). Her life was filled with many accomplishments and pursuits outside of her political involvement with her husband: diplomat (United Nations) and activist (human rights).
To make your dream come true, you have to stay awake.
From Ephesians 3:20: “Now to Him who by the power at work within us is able to accomplish abundantly far more than all we can ask or imagine.”
Hearing hope-filled words
Again and again
Different story
Always same message
Better tomorrow’s
Waiting in the wings
Whatever issue
Life’s hollow words sting
Today’s hope searching
Empty souls stare out
Yesterday shattered
Future dreams snuffed out
Confidence shaken
Sunrise uncertain
Starving for action
Grieving voices weep
Life struggles onward
Energy waning
From smallest ember
Hope’s flame still glowing
Searching far and wide
Encircling landscape
Riding each morning
Cowboy’s day takes shape
Working ‘til sunset
Riding saddleback
Fulfilling life’s dream
Cowboy’s tasks unpack
Tracking each stray steer
Bringing safely back
Riding in cold rain
Cowboy’s small payback
Earning little pay
Tasting land’s treasures
Riding hard saddle
Cowboy’s few pleasures
Living with toughness
Facing shortcomings
Riding treeless range
Cowboy’s homecoming
Nightly dream
Taking midnight walk
Quiet time
Whispering thoughts talk
Nightly peace
Wakening clouds part
Moon shining
Warming lonely heart
Nightly quest
Peeling away soul
Light traces
Filling spirit whole
Nightly view
Crossing distant bridge
Darkness looms
Scaling lofty ridge
Nightly dream
Finishing each ride
Silence tames
Rising sunrise hides
You gotta hang out with people who have big dreams and believe in that dream.
Surround yourself with supportive people. All the negative people, man you have to push them aside.
The soul is silent. If it speaks at all it speaks in dreams.
Some of us make our own light: a silver leaf like a path no one can use.

Unclose your mind. You are not a prisoner. You are a bird in flight, searching the skies for dreams.
Deep rivers run quiet.
