The Dreamer

Have you ever held fast
On to a passing moment,
Tried to make it last
Wishing it would never end ...
Even as you know
That its beginning to flow ...

Have you fumbled to capture
An elusive memory once again -
That is but just a blur
Eroded away by time and pain.
Even though it cant revive,
Only if for a moment, wished it alive?

Do you seek the flowers,
Growing in most unlikely places?
A rainbow amidst showers,
And clouds' myriad faces?
In the darkness of the night
Do you look for stars in the sky?
With your eyes, follow the flight
Of a gently flapping butterfly?

You may not be the power
That moves the earth,
But you are the dreamer
Who makes it worth
To move with it, but at your pace,
And make it a more beautiful place.
