Fortunately, our inclinations have limits. There can be a multitude of reasons for doing something or for not doing it. Whether the reason is philosophical or financial, or something else altogether; we are defined as much by what we leave undone as we are by the actions we take.
DREAMERS
You dreamers,
With fancy flights
Flitting like moths
Near the candle light,
Leave shadows
So long and tall
That I stretch too,
My toes against the wall.
Still, I can barely see over
To the other side,
To the soft pillow
Where your dreams reside.
