That Furnace Called Dreams (Guest Post)

That Furnace Called Dreams

Note: “That Furnace Called Dreams” is a guest post.

A dream is a furnace 

In which efforts are molded

Into realities 

Put in mediocrity 

Out comes lackluster results

Put in wishes and cheap talk

Out comes winds of disappointment 

Put in money

Put in time

Put in energy 

Put in your soul

And if all that is not enough

Put in everything you’re 

Put in everything you’ve got

What comes out

Nothing can truly describe

Nothing can truly label it

Generations will contribute in parts

To describing and appreciating your achievements 

Because you gave infinitely 

Infinite praise and recognition is what came out

Oh, that furnace called Dreams! 

It demands so much from you

Even if you’ve got nothing to invest 

It beckons you

To start by giving yourself

Because that is all that is required
