<p>but a dream
is a multi-faceted truth,
beginning as a single raindrop,
and then, it builds.</p>
<p>as time passes,
and one grows more desperate,
desperate to resist reality from setting in,
that single raindrop falls into others.</p>
<p>that single raindrop clings to other dreams
and to excuses for dreams not yet attained,
until, one day, it hits the ground,
and it disperses.</p>
<p>but a dream
is a multi-faceted truth,
even when it disperses,
it is still there --
in the grass,
in the trees,
supplying life,
padding the ground beneath out feet.</p>
<p>I really like this.</p>
<p>Multi-faceted truth? Raindrops dispersing? I agree with post #3...it's a college admission, not the destiny of your eternal soul!</p>
<p>I think you missed the message of the poem jimbob. It's saying that, ultimately, dreams live on and no single event, like a Harvard admissions decision, can deter them.</p>
<p>What's more, they are not comprised entirely of one event (college decisions). Instead, our dreams are multi-faceted and will prevail in an infinite number of forms.</p>
<p>The poem really makes today seem insignificant and reminds me of my love of writing-- which I'll be blessed enough to study no matter what school I attend.</p>
<p>^Nice, thanks for posting!</p>
