The Song of the Dreamers

My third poem. Inspired by Owl City

You feel so cold and abandoned

But you’re not alone

You have friends who guide

You through the unknown

 

We start a fire

To keep us alive

And soon enough

It’s burning bright

 

Surrounded by all this beauty

It’s hard for us to believe

That we built this place

By the dreams we conceived

 

Together we paint a sunset

That sparkles in the dust

For there is nothing in this world

That can be achieved without trust

 

We create a night skyline

That reflects in your eyes

The stars will sing to you

Their enchanting lullabies

 

In this malevolent world

Some might say we’re dreamers

Some will call us naïve, frivolous,

But to me, we are believers

 

We are the understanders,

The escapists and achievers,

The prophets, the paracosmists,

The visionaries and leaders

 

And we will not break

We will not fail

We will not quit

We will prevail

Author's Note

I know this probably isn't any good, it's only my third poem. This poem was inspired by Owl City and a few things happening in my life right now. I try not to write depressing poems that will bring people down, and instead try to sound optimistic, and bring people up. So here it is :)

Very beautiful. I think this poem from you is on so much a different level than your other ones. It's inspiring, relate-able, gorgeous, written well, and it speaks of how a heart adapts and finds itself inside the many things in this world that help make it stronger and birth imagination. I can't help but wonder about Nora while reading this. Talking to her, almost daily, she is in my thoughts, and this poem just has my heart in a hug of sorts. ....sorry. That second to the last stanza was of great quality and explained a lot of what the speed of the poem was and how important it was to pay attention to the details!! Beautiful, Abbey....... xoxo -Mark

[Westminster Abbey]

Thank you! I too think this is one of my better works :)

[Patrick Henry]

*friendly kiss to cheek* Great job... and keep on writing!! You have "fans" for a reason. We Love You and you are fun to read.... So much different in this poem!! xoxo -Mark

[Westminster Abbey]

Wow, I didn't know I had 'fans!'

[Patrick Henry]

I have read this poem of yours about 3 times this week and had no idea I wrote my Abbey!! : ) I think it IS good and I actually thought, at first, it was a tribute to Nora for some reason. Maybe, I just miss her letters and wonder how she is up North. : ) You are a lot of fun to visit!! xoxo -Your Mark

[Westminster Abbey]

It actually is a tribute to Nora. I was thinking of her when I wrote it

[Patrick Henry]

I Love it, Abbey!! Do you know how she is doing up there? She wanted to keep a sort of blog going, so I am only hoping that, first, the nurses are safe...lol.... that she is happy and not alone. : ) Beautiful poem. xoxo -Mark

Together we paint a sunset
That sparkles in the dust
For there is nothing in this world
That can be achieved without trust

So much can be said about this stanza,
This is really good. Awesome write.

[Aly Jones]

You did a really great job, sweetheart. This poem is really inspirational and uplifting. It takes us to an entirely different point of view that gives us hope and feeling. :) Great job.

[Edward]

This is a very amazing peace. I do dream and dreamers alike will like this peace! Great work!

[Soul Fire]

WOW! This is such a beautiful poem! It flows perfectly! It put me on a journey through the Land of Dreamers... I myself are a dreamer.. and I agree we are NOT naive or frivoulous, we are believers, the achievers, visionaries and leaders... We ARE THE DREAMERS!!!

[The Invisible Girl]

This is really good! I enjoyed this poem! Can't wait to read more of your work!
100/100 :)

[Westminster Abbey]

Astonishing write, great use of words, believe in your self and keep sharing. If we all keep sharing our emotions then:
"We will not fail
We will not quit
We will prevail"

[Balkaran Sidhu]

This is really good....never count yourself out...you have a lot of Potential...and this is really gud...i njoyed it.. :)

[Westminster Abbey]

Thank you! That means a lot coming from someone as talented as you!!! :)

'I know this probably isn't any good, it's only my third poem', Never doubt your self, this is a very good write. The fact that you shared your words makes it beautiful, words are only pointless if they are not shared and beauty can only be achieved in the witnessing.

'We start a fire
To keep us alive
And soon enough
It’s burning bright'

We set fires in everyone we meet, with some we get to dance around the flame in joy at the sharing of a journey. Loved this part especially.

[Westminster Abbey]

Thank you so much! People dont realize how important their reviews are to me! And that's almost exactly what I was going for. We create a spark in the world in order to fulfill ourselves, but that spark grows bigger than we expected as it spreads from heart to heart. What was originally just a small spark to keep our heads above the water, is now a raging wildfire, giving hope to thousands who need it. Such is the way of a community and of the world.
