A poem by Patrick Lindemann, 10/15/2018
The Building of a Dream
What does it take to have a dream and what more is required to live it
and make it your universe
what does it mean to have a dream
my mind is full of thoughts of a life before I was me
the wisdom of ages gone bye
the sense of love never realized
these things fill my mind with wondering
wondering of a gentle life of love
knowing out-comes not yet lived
feelings of peace in the mist of war
what does it mean to have a dream
thoughts of a touch never felt
the sense of someone gone
and yet felling them next to me
the wanting of something or someone never realized
the smell of a warm day in the wood
the feel of someone’s touch on a rainy day
the taste of a meal, not yet per-paired
the site of a rainbow over a forgotten sky
what does it mean to have a dream
the site of a hungry child and no food to give
the act of violence performed, when not yet born
the life of an infant lost in the wilderness, not yet found
the pain of the controlled, not yet free
the site of a river, not yet crossed
the vision of a cure, not yet discovered
the taking of a stand that makes a difference, not yet taken
making one life more meaningful, not yet made
what does it mean to have a dream
I have a dream
My dream is real
My life is short
My dreams are forever
I have lived a thousand life times
You have been part of every life
I know you where there because you are here now
And you will be there in every life time after today
That’s what it means to have a dream
