Ahead

Standard
(a spoken version is at the link below)

I am dreaming
of me not yet
and can only hope
that this dream is dream
of what is yet to be

for if it is not
then I am done
and the finish
shall not be reached
before the time has passed

and so fervently I cling
to this desperate hope
that this me I dream
be not dream at all

and so can I only
yet once again
take step
and the next
and the next
clinging tenaciously determined
with conviction
that dream will be made
that indeed there is yet still
ahead
