I weave wishes and desires--
Planning ways and activities
That may bring me closer
To these cravings.
Yet, I get cold feet,
Once I realize that I'm near
That whimsical zenith
Of attainment.
Because, yearning
For something is typical;
But, being up close
To a dream is daunting.
What, exactly, am I to do
With a fantasy, fulfilled--
Or a mirage, made real?
