Bad Poetry: Never Too Old to Dream

This week's Poets & Storytellers United prompt invites reflections on a quote, "You are never too old...to dream a new dream."

Lady, Lady, dream again;
Not all dreams need notice men;
Short-lived creatures leave us here
To our own dreams, without fear.

Turn back to the dreams of youth;
Own your strength; proclaim your truth.
Men brought joy and likewise woe.
Easily come, they easily go.

Own your castle on the hill;
Travel wide and travel far;
Toil like an industrial mill;
Idle like a movie star;

Though we feel we're made for love,
Soon we're called to rise above,
Call in dreams that long have flown,
Rise with them, once we're alone.
