yesterday’s dream
exploded
bursting the bubble
the bits & fragments
ricocheting
off the walls
creating
a sound
that penetrated
the day
piercing the noiselessness
shattering
the fantasy

a small voice
called for help
but could not be found
whimpering
out of fear
cowering in a corner
of the mind
hoping not to be exposed
waiting
to be saved

while the dream
evaporated
baring a new
vision
1 that
had footing
1 that
turned
the coward in the corner
into
a fearless wonder
a comic book hero
with a new aspiration
protected
by confidence

without a cloak or
extraordinary powers
finding strength
in the code
in the ethic
defining self-worth
in simplicity

now
facing each day
bold & brave
living with the axiom

truth
………….always wins
