What Dreams Are Made Of
Outlandish plots that make no sense
when comes the light of day.
Fun tales, creations of a tired mind’s enlivened play.
That’s what dreams are made of.
Visits from a mere acquaintance
or from an old flame.
Kisses from a somebody who doesn’t have a name.
That’s what dreams are made of.
Wandering your childhood streets
or lost inside a maze;
feeling silly, overwhelmed, scared or even crazed.
That’s what dreams are made of.
Doing things fantastical
like flying in the sky;
feeling bliss or feeling magic, knowing you can’t die!
That’s what dreams are made of.
If you’re lucky, you’ll relive
the times you wish could last. . .
like seeing good old friends or loved ones who already passed,
and that’s what dreams are made of.
