Chasing the Dream
By Don Iannone

Dreams of wide open spaces,
desert sunsets and mountains,
Dreams of days past and days to come,
Dreams of sleeping under the warm night sky,
Only with our dreams to keep us company.
Dreams of following the buffalo
to an unforeseen moment of truth.
Dreams of climbing the picture rocks,
where our deepest life questions
find answers through our dreams.
Dreams of far off places, closer than we think,
Dreams of love growing freely
in an unending field of hearts.
Dreams of dreams within dreams--
Dreams too real to see with daytime eyes.
Drifting...into a world of subtle truths,
where there are no walls
separating truth, beauty, and love.
Running, climbing, reaching to touch
the illusive dream that is our life.
