Harbouring a dream is a dangerous thing
It bites , kicks , roasts , and stings
Above all, possibly most importantly
It won't let you slump , slouch and die
It will keep you alive, clicking
Keep your tiny clock ticking
But yourself you'll keep kicking
If you lag behind, you'll be sighing
Wring your hands, pick on your flaws
Know yourself, friends and foes
No one can help you, no one will
For its all in your mind, be still
Above all, welcome stillness
In a chaotic world of silliness
Of this and that, rights and wrongs
All your unspoken thoughts,unsung songs
Free yourself from shackles of what if
Life is a main course, no appertif
You have lived okay, come this far
On a wintry morn, leave the door ajar
Listen to the chill draught chortle
The freeze , the shiver, the luften
A lesson from nature, we learn
To pass into oblivion, the green
With silence and grace and quietude
Let your work ( if you have any) , prelude
Speak up for you, like fallen leaves
Frozen ground, dripping wet eaves
