A journey to ‘LaLa Land’
has awakened the spirit
that does not give a care
to the opinion of this world,
has reignited the flame
I thought once lost,
has rekindled the desire
to be consumed by a cause
greater than mere existence.
A toast to that dreamer
who stays true to his heart,
in the face of criticism
from within and without,
despite the foolishness
so apparent to the seemingly ‘wise’,
standing up to the heartaches
that show up uninvited
in the quietness
of the night.
While many were subdued
in the cruel game of life
and settled for
a more trodden path,
it is equally hard ,
if not more,
to content with the longings
of an aching heart
in the knowledge
that you have been false
to what is in your
innermost part.
