I Had My Dreams Crushed

From Ashes To Dust

By: Sylphy
Written on April 7th, 2012

Mashed.
Squashed.
Pounded.
Crumbled.
Pulverized.

I took the ashes of my dreams
Cradled them into faerie's hands.
Sobbed.
Moaned. 
Whimpered.

Silence.

I breath faerielife into the ashes.
And they turned into...

Faeriedust. =)

    *bows to Gr* Sometimes ashes turn to dirt and we experience grime all over us... we can always turn things around. It is always our choice how we look at things. This faerie prefers faeriedust grime all over herself. Anytime. =)

    One of my favorite songs is Molly Hatchets Dreams Ill Never see, not because it talks about crushed dreams but for the fact that by the end of the song its very upbeat and defiant. Dreams are intangible, they live inside of our hearts and souls. If we keep our spirit strong our dreams cannot be broken and can eventually be reality.
