For the dreamers who are dreamless as they search for some direction
For the hopeful who are hopeless drowned in melancholy fields
Few and far between lay triumphs of such magnificent feat
If every little drummer boy marches to his own beat
How can someone find their way by marching to their song?
How will they ever know if what they're doing is wrong?
For if every person parted ways and marched to different beats
Harmony would never be resolved and there'd be no symphony
So who's to tell us "grab a drum and be on your merry way"
When everything inside our soul is screaming at us to stay
But then they say we are the hopeless, dreamless generation
We've yet to prove our doubters wrong and give our explanation
Of who we are and what we could be if we really dared to dream
And follow the hopes hidden inside us becoming one harmony
We can march to one drum and follow our hearts to the cadence of the beat
As we stomp out the fields and find our direction creating our own masterpiece

Nice poem. I find that the more I read poetry the more I realize that it really isn't for me. So I will leave the poetry to the poets, like yourself, and try to find my own thing. I do like to rhyme however.
I like this. I have been meaning to read your posts for a while, and Alex's and Mark's and Jenny's too for that matter. I love the idea of community represented in this. I feel like i have gone off by myself to find my own rhythm...when i should have gone off to find God's.
I find the more i read poetry the more i realize it is for me. Haha. I suppose the poetry gene is recessive...?
A very interesting blog!
