Dreams and Schemes

My dream is dusty, but it's mine
Tarnished and tattered
Tossed from time to time.

My story is not always light
Nor constantly filled with woe
There is no end in sight.

Milestones are for marking progress
Life comes in between
Therein lies success.


My god, this three line form is hard to write. I mean painfully hard to get an idea out in this format. It's awkward and unpleasant, but I'm sure I grew some extra synapses trying to do it.

I just watched a PBS show called "Change Your Brain, Change Your Life." He said we make new neurons every time we use our brains, so yes, I agree this poem gave you more brain power! It's also very nice.
