A Simple Story

A dream is simply a story
It has neither a beginning, nor an end
It starts in the middle and ends where it intends

Like all stories, it paints a picture
Some pictures are in focus and clearly real
Others are blurred and simply surreal

But they all proffer a question, in the mind’s eye
An eye with an answer that may never arrive
Yet only reciprocate with it, like a vision of Pi

A vision nonetheless; of a world within a world
A vision of grandeur
A vision of love or
 
Simply a vision of nonsense…

Dreams in a nut shell, Mark! I try not to give dreams much importance, but some people take them very seriously, and could be that they are right! All the best. // paul

Our dreams may be trying to tell us something we need to know, but it is never easy to unravel the mystery of what that something is... Your words provoke very deep thoughts. I really enjoyed this wonderful poem, Mark!
