Dreaming While Awake

The best dreams occur when the eyes are open When some miracles or a few good things happen At a time, when life is supposed to be monotonous Then suddenly out of nowhere, you reencountered An old friend who brought back forgotten precious Souvenirs and times gone by that we both revered. Dreaming while awake does not happen too often When a unique event is revisited, the word “Heaven” Comes to mind, and the mouth is full of a sweet saliva Once swallowed, it’s like sipping alcohol-free vodka The best dreams take place, not when the eyes are shut It is when one is lying down and reminiscing like a nut Memories and times gone that are revered And remember always that time on earth is a breath of air.
