Pieces of a Dream

Pieces of a Dream

Like falling rain that slips wet across my skin,

my hopes and dreams were washed away.

Like Autumn leaves that drop and wither on the ground

my desires and visions shrivelled and were gone.

Like confetti tossed at bride and groom,

my fantasies were scattered to the winds,

never more than pieces of a dream.
