Dreamcatcher

If ever you have missed your chance

To catch a falling star

Because you have been living

 In the shadow of a dream

 

Afraid the light of love

Might make you grow

Then they would know how long

And where you’ve been

 

Then step away to reach up high

And you might find

That life is not

As scary as it seems

 

Give yourself a chance

To catch a falling star

When you do

you bring to life your dreams

Mmm....very true, but you can only tell when you're there or have been there.

Hopeful and confident, like you're sure of this cause you're there and you want to share that hope with everyone, but you do so in a realistic way, not full of hype and beautiful webs of flattering illusions, it's all real. Very nice write! :D

Then step away to reach up high
And you might find
That life is not
As scary as it seems

i absolutely agree to those lines! an inspiring poem that tells us to have the courage to pursue our aspirations! Indeed short, but very beautiful! :)

you remain my number one poet, wisdom-wise!

I think it needs a new title.
Dreamcatcher makes me think that it's not real.
With my experience with them they keep bad dreams away.
I get that it could mean that you can use a "dreamcatcher" to avoid all the bad things
and only see the good things. I don't know. Just doesn't quite seem to fit.
But as for the actual poem. I'd like it if it were longer.
It's still beautiful. Short but sweet.
I think it makes a good point.
You shouldn't be afraid to take chances because of what could happen.
Lovely

I think it's beautiful!
my fav line:
"Give yourself a chance
To catch a falling star
When you do
you bring to life your dreams"
Very beautiful!! =]

Basicallly, I think you're saying don't be afraid to let the chance for your dreams to come true happen..even if you lost out before and hide from any other chances; that it's ok to grow with love anyway even if everyone knows you didn't do so well before. I hope! Well..blessings!

Hmm, my take? well, to me it sounds like it's telling me to reach for the stars, to follow my dreams, and discard of all my doubt and fears. That's how I see it anyways. Overall great read! I really enjoyed it! it makes me feel almost powerful! lol
