TITLE: That's What Dreams Are Made For
TYPE: Free Verse
CRITIQUE: Yes
OTHER: This was written tonight, actually. Inspired during the drive to pick up my brother. I had to drive through the itty bitty country space available near where I live, and it was breathtaking.

---

i want winding roads and tear-jerking sunsets on the horizon
tall grass and wild flowers consuming the earth
a white house with a porch hugging all around it
sun-kissed children playing in the yard
maybe even a pony or two for the little ones
a grand stallion for the man in my life
a man to be the man for me for the rest of my days

but mostly those things are just things
picturesque and pretty to see on occassion
living with them would cost them their splendor
diminish their beauty and ruin the image

that’s what dreams are made for
they give you a little something to reach for
the disappointment is enough to get ya down
but the little tastes of those fingertip-grazed stars
that’s what dreaming is all about
a pasttime to get you through the days and nights
a habit to spice up your life
and bring your world momentarily crashing down
