Circle of life--death creates new life.

While the title Is "When Dreams Die", which brings to mind you have not yet achieved your dreams, I find a contrasting juxtaposition in your place of observation- you are elevated, surrounded by clouds and a clearing blue sky, which to me suggests that you have already obtained some of your dreams. That is not to say the impact of watching other dreams die is lessened, so much as that perhaps in the pursuit and accomplishment of one particular dream, we have to give up on others.

Wonderful view.  I felt the place in the clouds was more about a moment of quiet contemplation, a place away from the din of the world to hear your own thoughts and come to terms with the state of your own heart.  Thank you so much for your comments!  Beautiful ideas!

I like your thoughts better, lol.

And you are most welcome. The pleasure was all mine.

Heart breaking for sure.  Sometimes we have to lose something, so that something even more beautiful can take its place.  At least you had a career you loved!    Rejoice in that.  All is temporary here on earth anyway.  Shakespeare's career had to end, so did Einstein's.  But you are bigger than your dream....

Nicely put!  However, Einstein and Shakespeare's careers both ended in death!  Ha!  Oh, well.  That's the beauty of art.  You can take your pain and all the unrequited things in your heart and make it into something bittersweet and beautiful.

True, and you have done just that.  And for that I applaud you.  However, death is the end of all our earthly pursuits.  One way or another, they end
