I am not a poet and I know it, but I was inspired at the time and I hope this inspires someone..

Tired of searching for a dream
scrabbling for a distant star
everything seems so far and yet
the dream is rising like
curdled cream in coffee.

Every agonizing year, I feel
its presence, sometimes I
touch its burning heat and feel
the bite, yet only for a moment

Blowing in the breeze like a tired
flag, I am looking for the
wind to direct my focus
Tired of changing direction

to all the new writers trying to get published..dare to dream, so that others may as well..

Tired of searching because
now I realize, that each step
however tiny brings me closer
to it, but I do not rush anymore
I savour each moment

I savour it like a fine wine,
whose smell
tells me of future success
vision provides direction and action
speaks volumes, the star is within
reach I have merely but grasp
it

Always will I tap the vein of imagination
writing what my heart demands, writing
what my soul sees and eventually what will
be - will be and the star will have me one
way or another
..the rest, apologize in advance if I have broken any rules
