You were happy–I saw it in your eyes
Dreams at your fingertips–unstoppable
Then I saw the flame flicker–extinguished
Snuffed out like a candle by judgement
You never rose again from the ashes
Your hopes and dreams cremated

Dom, This one really hit me! Excellent! Phil
Thanks fill, dreams crushed can affect a person for a lifetime, so sad.
Your work is so authentic(overused word but I love it) and touches my heart!
I so glad and thank you for saying so, I very much appreciate it. :)
That’s a sad and scary thing to think about. Forgot who said it, but dreams are what makes life worth living.
That was a wise person who said that, much wiser than I.
Oh – how sad…
It is sad when this happens.

crushing worlds
They can be very painful indeed.
But some ashes are the most fertile and from them can spring beautiful new dreams.
And I certainly hope they do for those whose dreams have been crushed.
