Dreams And Ghosts Poem by Terence George Craddock (Spectral Images and Images Of Light)

the dreams
of the heart
the dreams
of the mind

change and pass
with time
throughout the span
of a lifetime

many dreams
will come and go
but some dream
like childhood


quality must be
kept and preserved
from childhood
for this is perpetual

renewal of creativity
this deep solace
sustains aspiring soul
with hope filled

love renewing life
with new dreams
to inspire to grasp
to share eternally


the hard hearted
are played out
lost broken upon
twisted memories

dreams long dead
life expired withered
dead to deep feeling
which sustains life

the dead of heart
live only in shadows
of yesterday’s hope
ghost haunting
