Dreams
Overwhelmed! It’s so easy to be
In this world of made-up history.
As the price of all we say and do
Comes crashing down around our ears
And the ghosts of what we thought were true
Are smothered in all our fears.
Underfed! And all our hungry hearts
Are starving for more genuine arts
That will lead our souls to honest truth
And set our longing spirits free,
In the realm of the immortal youth
Unbound of all tyranny.
For, in our dreams of far-away,
Imagination rules the day
And all that seems just fantasy
Becomes so plain to see.
And, in our dreams of never-been
We are all heroes once again
Escaping all the gravity
Of what is but reality…
