We: young, loving looking at skies to dream 

Our dreams alive: all white, as soft a dove 

Young once passion contained our minds, 

love steam

And our hearts longed to see life from above


Travel away we sought to purpose ties

Our hands: veins red, passionate, fire lit, lightning

We still could not see right, above our skies

The Dreams watching, grab our hearts: tightening


Night came, showing stars bright, they are guiding 

Searching with lightened touch, into the dark

Dark sinks into our scars, we are dying 

No stops toward our dreams: making our mark 


We yet make it: striving toward the skies

So let us die, joining heavens tides.


The author's comments:

One of my first times playing around with a sonnet. This poem is very vulnerable to me, encapsulating one of the ways we can all interpret dreams, and how we can or can't achieve them. I hope you enjoy!
