Lion Dreams of Impossible Dreams

for all poetry impossible dream contest 

An old lion
Roars in his sleep
Recalling an impossible dream

In his dream
He was a man
Who was chasing a dream 
Chasing an impossible dream

The man 
Was haunted 
By a dream girl

A girl who appeared
Nightly in his dreams
Beckoning him to join her

He searched the world
Looking for her
And then one day

She walked 
Off a bus
And into his life

The lion woke up
From the impossible dream
Smiling at the thought

Then he went off 
To search for his 
Impossible dream

Dreaming still
Of being a man
In search 
of a dream girl
