Can the dream disappear in my hand
Everything was so easy
the road was straight
thickets away
and block-filled
and leveled
The dream was there for the short distance
but dry out for each step
I venture to believe
that it is there
when I arrive
Can the dream disappear in my hand
seems so
the clock is ticking
and soon
the end of the battle
is done
