Dream In My Mind


In the dream of my mind
all my many flaws melt away
scars from living, on my skin
No longer visible to tell of survival
Surface beauty

A walk across the world
Radiating grace and poise
Holes,cracks on the path
No longer cause me to stumble
To music, a tango on stilettos
Moving beauty

This beauty, a stranger
To those in my dream
A facade masking all knowns
For ages along the way
The mirage sparkled
Drew me forward, ever reaching
Tantalizing beauty

Where once shadows teased
Now only admonition, a sigh
What it cost to chase
A forever empty dream
Deceptive beauty

An appeal echoes silently
Trapped by imposed pretension
This dream didn't end
At the infamous pot of gold
But the crumbs, eaten up
leave no where else to go
Hidden inner beauty
