of Dreams...

I was taught to Dream:
To Dream big and to Dream far;
To reach for the moon, lest I should fall,
I'll still find myself among the stars.

But what is Dream
when I am just a gush of whirlwind?
And what is Dream
as I bathe in tears that flow like a stream?

Still I did dream:
I dreamt big and I dreamt far.
I reached for the moon, and surely I did fall
to find myself among starfishes on the shore.

if we were to shoot for the moon, what should our expectations be? to reach it, or to land among the stars?

haha, anyway, nice to see an update;)

What do you think? Do you think I wrote it?

To reach for the moon is impossible. So what it means is that, aim for more than you can actually achieve, so if you fall short of it, you will still be at your best. It's like aiming for 105% in a test, so if even if you fall short, there is still a chance of getting 100%. If you aim for a 100% and you fall short, you will get less than the perfect score.
