OF HOPE AND DREAMS AND YOU

by Gary Jurechka   Jan 19, 2006


Is it the dream of hope
or the hope of the dream
that keeps me alive,
allows me to get through another day
without screaming?
I do not know
and fear to delve too deep,
lest I awake some dark midnight hour
and find both hope and dream gone,
leaving the same emptiness
where you used to be.

    I thought it started off in a positive way but by the end I could read deeper and the sad atmosphere you have created is excellent. I like how this is short and to the point but still have heaps of 'layers' to it. I also enjoyed the structure, how it runs freely but is still controlled throughout. Awesome stuff :)
