A person will have in their possession the most amazing opportunity only to let it go and end up chasing after it until it is no longer visible. Sadly, the law of gravity doesn't apply to dreams. Thats why we see so many stars in the sky; they're a representation of dreams that were abandoned.
First line - sane advice
Second line - confusing, but still retaining the potential of being enigmatic. Hinges upon the third line, really.
Third line - Aaaand...I'm confused as to what it's supposed to be. Stars are not dreams, so why are you trying to offer an absurd literal interpretation of a common metaphor? The only saving grace is that it's consistent with the second line.

Furthermore,  this is not what a prose poem is. It's just prose, though good prose.
