KEEP DREAMING
Kujtim R Hajdari - Albania/USA

In the blind silence of the night, 
Dreams, when they are born,  fly like fleeting light. 
Some ignite the flame and guide untold, 
Others fade, but we keep their warmth.
 
Beneath the stars, it happens to dream, 
To chase life in its endless stream. 
In the moonlit garden of hope, we tread, 
With every step, a future is nourished.
 
Dreams are seeds in the garden of thought,
Planted deep, with lessons to be taught.
Though some may fade and others bloom,
Each one brightens the path through the gloom.

Even if all the dreams don’t see the light, 
Their whispers guide us to struggle and fight,
To go ahead and find the right way, 
To enjoy our life with each passing day.

So, keep dreaming and let them soar, 
For dreams, my friends, open every door.  
Though not all dreams will come to be, 
They light the way for you and me.
