A House of My Dreams

I tried to build a castle

out of wood

as best as i could

but soon understood

that nothing can come

from effortless hassle.


I tried to build a castle

out of steel

but soon began to feel

that I had made a deal

with a devil

who could wheel

out of his doubt.


I tried to build a castle

out of glass

which felt like grass

with an empty associated class

who had long since surpassed

this prolonged instability


so I brought what I had:

ambition,

positivity,

wonder,

possibility,

and hope

and used them to build a house.

It stood for many years to come.
