Dreams

DREAMS A re-occurring dream I have with such A vivid set of sight and sound and touch That in that other world the question’s posed Is this only a dream soon to be closed? The answer oft as not is: No! It’s real What else could give such graphic sense and feel Yet in brief course of time we soon return To life that’s more than such a brief sojourn Enjoined to judge this as the world that’s real To which we must revert, the dream repeal And so we choose to denigrate our vision As unreality that must be to be shriven But what, when young, we see as life unending A climb to peak so distant we’re ascending As years go by, perceived as finite stake A dream perhaps from which we may awake A difference? Brief or long the candle burn Each IS experience for which we yearn Therefore we may reject as test: duration Since time itself is subject to mutation ‘Real world’, if we must judge and make decree. Is that which we concur, we sense and see. I’ll share with you and you - life long deems But choose to also live in my own dreams
