Scattered dreams
Lay along a sea of blue
Goals of some life
Lived not too long ago
A nebulous mist
Covers the path ahead
Containing seeds
Of doubt, betrayal and fear
Sadness, loss and pain
Despair, antagonism and hostility
Further within
A faint light flickers
Then several more
Lights representing
Trust, certainty and confidence
Hope, joy and success
Pleasure, enthusiasm and happiness
Do I pull the scattered dreams
Into the unknown
Or forge ahead
With a new set of dreams
Do I follow the flicker
Of these lights
Or get swallowed whole
By the seeds of abyss
My path has yet
To be traveled
The choice is mine to bear
