A Second Life-Elizabeth


A Second Life


Knowing-

that after your day of
work and exertion,
exhaustion and fatigue,
tedium and boredom,
you can always go home and
          Dream.


That your pillow is waiting,
waiting to engulf you in the
exhilaration and anticipation
of your
          Second life.


That you can escape
the struggles and plight
of your life
because the night is long and
          Promising.


That
You can control what
you think and
You can control what you wish and
You know that no fantasy is too
          Immense.


That we will go where we need to go,
see what we need to see,
be who we need to be,
because dreams are powerful and
dreams come true and
 
     Dreams
        Help
           You
              Fly.

    I REALLY like this poem! Is this in a specific format, or did you just write it this way? Because I really like the line breaks and stanzas. The format really caught my attention and I like the last four lines a lot. :)
