The moment may come my boy
when the dream that filled your mind
becomes reality. But, sadly then
you will have lost it, all of the wondrous dream.
You ask why this is so my lad,
the purpose of a dream is not a wish,
and no fullfilment is required here,
so let it be, a dream may give you strength
for all your days, its mythos though remains
beyond your youthful grasp, so wait,
the passing of the years will steal your time
but give you patience so you too may know
the meaning and the soul of wondrous dreams.

Herbert Nehrlich 2
