The Dark Road

Follow Your Dreams

Each day you make a wish
trying your best to swallow,
that dreams can come true
to bring a path to follow

It's roads are paved in black
you're blinded by the night
Unsure what lies ahead,
but prepared to face a fight

If dreams are what you seek
and you need them to surpass,
nothing standing in the way
and the heartache's in the past

Sometimes we doubt the chance
that hope can get us through,
yet still we keep on wishing
to make our dreams come true

Just when you think it's over
and there's nothing left to face
you realize that you did it,
and the pain has been erased

The next to the last stanza,(is that right, paragraph,'stanza'?)
is certainly a part of the way most of us think, or thought.
And yet, most of the time, these 'dreams' we proclaim do not come to fruition.
They are simply replaced by what our 'real' dreams are.
For as this poem subtly suggests.....
Thought is what is at the beginning. And from it things are manifested, whether we are aware of it or not.

Like the lady said, "Follow your Dreams."

When you get to the dark road, there is light! Even at your ultimate low, there's still a way out to where you're meant to be! I love it.

So there is light at the end of the tunnel? I see it here. Seems perhaps you have traveled that dark road and lived to tell the tale. A tale told quite well, I might add.

The light at the end of my tunnel was switched off.
