Taking a chance at dreams

How do you catch a shooting star?
When the distance of eternity
Is so very far.

Why do we follow rainbows?
When the story was told
So long ago.

How can we say we’re in love?
When we haven’t witnessed
Whatever thrives above.

What makes us take a chance?
When it’s the only time
We’ll ever have to dance.

What makes us keep our dreams?
Hidden for when we sleep
Fantasies closer in reach then they seem.

How can we let time go by?
When we don’t have forever
Someday we all must die.
