Growing Up…

or not.

High School © Brooklyn Muse

Dreamers dream,

Dreamers remember,

life begins, gets lost —

and begins again.

Babies dream,

Dreamers remember,

experience touch, breath

with all of its majesty.

Kids tumble and fall —

learn to hide dreams,

try hard to please.

They look to the dreamers.

They know dreamers remember.

Teens challenge,

try to dream —

They reach into the dreamers

to find their own way.

They struggle a bit,

then relish the day.

They know dreamers remember.

Adults conform, lost searching for dreams

the days of their birth,

back to ancestral wisdom.

They struggle much

and question their dreams.

They forgot that dreamers remember.

Dreamers remember.

Age reverts us back to a time
