Notes From a Dream

It is all a dream Just phantoms passing by our tired eyes Smoke and mirrors Nothing to hang onto Yet at times we feel that things are working out the way they should A sense of being centered enters into our lives But it all passes eventually Like clouds blown by the wind Even though we are always chasing phantoms If you keep your eyes on the prize and keep balanced and don't lose heart You will find gold among the pebbles in life's stream
