How Heavy Are Dreams
Robert loughran 1962 (Ireland)
How heavy are dreams?
How blinding one true vision?
How much pain in desire ,
that must ever burn higher.
What's excluded by great ambition?
How heavy are dreams?
How restricting our schemes?
How separative belief?
Is hope not a thief?
a poor replacement for action.
How heavy are dreams?
Is choice not confused?
with self imposed limitations..
A deep dive into delusion,
A life of practiced exclusion.
About this poem
about the restrictive natter of will, selection and belief.
