BOULEVARD OF BROKEN DREAMS
Oh boulevard of broken dreams
lying shattered
At my feet in a million pieces.
A Jigsaw puzzle of hopes and
aspirations
That can never be rebuilt
following such fragmentation.
Instinctively I ask myself why- and the answer comes
Floating into my mind on
butterfly wings,
Gently imparting a meaningful
message.
It is not the dreams of the mind
that are ordained to flourish
Rather, we need to nurture the
yearnings of our soul
Knowing that the pathway of all
true dreams should lead to joy.
Pure joy that is akin to the
sentiment of love:
Joy that cannot be fulfilled by
earthly desires,
Joy that is manifested through belief,
desire and integrity,
Joy whose foundation is set in
truth and love,
Joy that will arise from the
boulevard of broken dreams
And rise like a phoenix from the
flames of this life
Forging a pathway from our
earthly presence
Into the wings of eternity- More
love, more life.
An ever spinning circle of
spiritual evolution
Leading to our highest form and
true identity.

The above poem was written specifically for The
Chill Out Zone on Buffaloo Radio and if you wish to hear me recite
my poems we are live Wednesday's 7.30-9.30 pm GMT & the show is repeated
every Sunday at the same time. I have set myself the challenge of writing a
poem to fit in with a song title from the playlist each week and this is last
week's poem based on Greenday's, 'Boulevard of Broken Dreams.' I have loved that phrase since the first time I heard it and now it's speaking directly to me. As you can see, the poem does not necessarily reflect the meaning
of the song as it's important to allow creativity to follow its own course. If you would like more of a feel for the emphasis and rhythm, tune in- your feedback is
most welcome!
