Dreams

By Leticia Mongre

Dreams can be gold

Gold can be dreamy

We think we know

What we are missing

In the search for love

We abandoned the ships

And forgot behind

The children

Let us remember

What else we leaving

We can no longer say

It’s not ours to pay

This debt is criminal

And our eyes as well

Can be found guilty

When we look away

Not at all guilty

We have feasted on dreams

Building up fortresses

Burned every day

Burned every feeling

Now lines on the dirt

Can longer be said

It’s freedom

We are not aware

We are no longer dreaming

A dream is good

If there’s good in the dreamer

A dream can be bold

And so can be the dreamer

But if the dreamer is all

And we all are the dreamer

We can make it gold

We can make it worth living

Let us not forget

That is all of us

Or none

Let us be one

For once and for all
