Poetry For Everyday People

American Romantics

As the dreamer's eyes open
the world changes
and barriers become
steps

life changing moments hovering
close in our minds
memories relentlessly  
knocking

we grow up carrying close
what we never tell
yet it's right here
on us

can't blame our minds wild
taking off on a wink
sprinkling cinnamon
chances

holding out for magic
lit deep within us
despite our needs
alone

taking the hard road home
rising above the pain
beating the odds
humbly

whispering in our own hearts
fireworks at midnight
pointing at the moon
knowing.
