The New Birth

 To believe in
impossible dreams
accepting one can live

not  touched
by daily silence
this grief  that others give

our inner thoughts
will warm with force

each life long search
alone our course

lived in dreams
these selfish nights

or silent in daydreams
we all hold tight

still in all our
dreams will thrive

if only just one
nurtured  survives

a wine to be tasted
a mountain to climb

endless a voyage
building with time

conquered dominions
centered our streams

of hopes never slowing
just passing that seem

to open this void 
once closed to all

a last final test
for few now calls

bright this beginning
in new birth we sow

with impossible dreams
off they go!!

Ann of Norway Love your impossible dreams, you have spot-lit their beginnings and set my mind creating impossible dreams. Yours trickles down the page describing itself in perfect musical gracefulness, John. Thank you for your little dream. Love from Ann.

Hi Ann. How is all. was an exciting read, your move that is and one thing I wanted to say that I never did , is that I think it should be admitted as a short story on the site. I think so anyway !!! as you can see you are the top of my list to thank for reading this poem. and I'm happy you liked it. let me know what you think about submitting your moving story as a short story... I believe people would like it.. thanks again Ann. Love John.
