08/11/2003 Entry: "Poem: Rusty Dusty Dreams (from the archives)"

RUSTY DUSTY DREAMS

Polished with hope, built upon faith...
Tomorrow, uncluttered and sure;
Confidence gave such a good start
But somehow, just couldn't endure.

Hope didn't shine, it grew rusty...
Someone lost truth, grew confused.
Then dust quickly settled and covered
Brand new dreams that never got used.
