to accomplish dreams

my image is serene
I know it to be confident, joyous
it reflects along with today’s brilliant sunset
in the gilded mirror of a large high-rise penthouse
where I contemplate the depth of commitment
in the eyes of those faithful souls who accompany me
along our journey surrounding the highlights of my life…
there is always enough place for new companions
following my strangely wandering path
trying to accomplish something sincere
before time quiets my dreams eternally…
and as I gaze in this mirror, I realize
there are other bright eyes crossing my regard
and I wonder quietly how many of them
would join me to sing our songs
and run to the drums of our shared goals
to become people who can change the world
beings full of talent, of surprise
sharing a common destiny —
the heroes of tomorrow
