Dreams are for dreamers

I was big there, for a while.
Open, wide, engaged, and engaging.
Enjoying life's richness 
like a creamy pavlova.

Now I must fall back.
I am not really big enough
for the weight 
of your expectations.

Become small again.
Not expecting much, 
and tasting only the crumbs
as I find them.

Time to put the big toys away 
and go back to being little.
Little needs, little hopes, little wants, little life.
Dreams are for dreamers.
