We are all dreamers,
We don't know who we are.
Straying backwards and foreward,
No true light,
No true path,
Just wandering, aimless,
Hoping to find a sign,
That will guide our way again.

Our dreams are dead.
A lifeless wasteland,
Where none can find,
Hope within its dead sight.

Who are we but dreamers,
Believing there is truly hope.
Who are we but skeptics,
Blocking that which could lighten our hearts.

We are all dreamers,
We don't know who we are.
But who has ever,
Been able to lift the veil of our mind?
Who can see,
The truth behind?

Our lives are crumbling,
Yet we cling to our dreams.
Slowly we're falling,
But never to be saved.

It is all for one,
And one for all,
In this heretic spew of life.
As brother fights brother,
And mother fights child,
When did we fall from the light?

We are all dreamers,
We don't know who we are...

So we're doing poetry in my Creative Writing class and one of our assignments was too take a line of a poem we liked and use it as the first line of a poem we were supposed to write (yeah I know that sounds confusing but bear with me). So I did just that and actually came out with a semi-decient poem. Don't have a name for it but meh it was just for Creative Writing.

Here is the line, name of poem, and name of poet (just so I don't get sued ;)

"We are all dreamers, we don't know who we are." - Mother and Child by Louise Gluck

I really can't find the right words to describe this beautiful poem...it's just so meaningful and lovely! I'll comment again when I can and I'm feeling better:)
