Dreams

CLOSING MY EYES AT NIGHT,
I ENTER THIS WORLD AWAY FROM REALITY.
HERE I'M THE KING, THE ALPHA
AND OTHERS FOLLOW ME,
RESPECTING MY COMMANDS.
THEN I DRIFT TO SLEEP
AND ENTER A WORLD
WHERE I'M NEITHER ALPHA NOR OMEGA.
HERE NOTHING IS UNDER
MY CONTROL ANYMORE.
NOW I SOMETIMES VISIT MY PAST,
SOMETIMES TO THE FUTURE.
SOMETIMES MY FANTASIES COME TRUE,
SOMETIMES MY HORRORS DO.
THEN I WAKE IN THE REAL WORLD,
THE PREVIOUS WORLD
CEASES TO BE A VAGUE MEMORY.
I SMILE AT THOSE VAGUE MEMORY,
AS I GET READY TO FACE THE HECTIC REALITY.

Vinayak, it is nice to visit old memories, I'm not one who enjoys facing reality. However, I can relate to the emotions and feeling here.. like the smiling uplifting thought on the bottom. .. take care... linda
