What happens to a dream fulfilled?
Does it shine like a star in the moonless sky?
Or flow like a shining blue river on a hot summer day?
Does it dance like a paint brush on a canvas?
Or soothe like a warm hug?
Maybe it allures like a flickering flame?
Or does it calm like rocking a new born baby late at night?
