Every man‘s downfall is hidden in his dreams…

Every man‘s downfall is hidden in his dreams.
You travel through a dark, strange forest
of deceptions, which your own chest has nurtured.
behind reality‘s cold tranquility.
–
Your dream has the great power
to form an independent life, which threatens you.
It grows between you and the living
and yet no one realizes what goes between.
–
Against your body energy and spiritual power
and in spite of your opinion, experience and belief,
in dark silence, in a mysterious way,
the dream grows bigger and at the same time reduces you.
–
And behold, you fall for your own dream
In a complete surrender of the conquered man.
It locks its long arm around you,
and finally you have become your own dream.

Our dreams are hidden for ourselves, even though others can see our efforts and fights for our dreams. Sometimes ones disgrace can result from our frantic fight for recognition and for ones dreams, we can see best intention might result in crimes against others. Your ambition can be your trap as respect is earned but not to be demanded. Ones justification often represents wishful thinking instead of realistic view. Ones accusation often disguise the unfair and the unjust personality. Maybe it was best not to comment on this great poem as it can difficult to improve on the perfect.

I wish to express appreciation to this writer just for bailing me out of this type of predicament. As a result of checking throughout the world wide web and seeing basics that were not powerful, I believed my life was well over. Being alive without the presence of approaches to the issues you’ve sorted out all through your good guideline is a critical case, and the ones that could have in a wrong way damaged my entire career if I hadn’t noticed your web page. Your personal training and kindness in dealing with all areas was valuable. I’m not sure what I would’ve done if I hadn’t encountered such a subject like this. I am able to at this moment look forward to my future. Thanks very much for your impressive and sensible guide. I won’t think twice to endorse your site to any individual who should receive tips about this problem.
