Congrats on your 50th post! It's a thoughtful piece that for me shares the complexities of pursuing one's dreams. I love your imagery. For me what stood out was the crumbling mountains, fallen fruit, and unreachable horizons. That beautifully shares the sense of searching and longing. This was a wonderful read!

I like this little poem very much. There's a lot of truth in it. "Follow your dreams", they tell you. No matter what, you end up dead. How do we measure success?

I looked for the oceans tide <= maybe you meant "ocean's"? It could also just be written as "ocean".

Thanks for a fine read,

🦍

Hi, Harry

It's very true what you say. One man's dreams may be another man's nightmare. It is known as a universal truth

You give examples within this theme that are good examples

I could not totally figure out your rhyming scheme because it seemed like in some stands as you rhymed the first and third line and some others you rhyme two lines in a row and then in stil others you rhyme the second and fourth line

Maybe there only two lines per stanza, but it's hard to tell because the length of each line is different

And within the lines, some things rhyme with each other

I think sometimes it looks like there are multiple lines because like I said each line is a different length

It just seem to be inconsistent on the rhyming. But like I said, maybe you should put periods at the the ends of your lines.

I'm sure I confused you by all this, but I didn't mean to

There is no set meter obviously

Here. It would be nice to not have two seems in the same sentence

"you can't seem

to find them it seems"

I enjoyed reading your poem

Good job. Thank you for sharing.

Do we ever stop dreaming?
Were our dreams bigger when we were younger?
Are some more attainable now as I'm older?
Does it bother a person when they were not able to achieve the dream?

So many questions and so many more.

Good poem which gets the mind working...
John
