Dreams

We succumb to temptation 
And bathe in its juices 
We challenge the mighty tyrant
And stand victorious
We dare to risk everything
Yet we gain even more
We fall in love as children do
However, we refuse to let go 
The possibilities are unthinkable
Yet we fear nothing 
The nonsense tortures and humbles us
And we come back for more
There we find Comfort and safety
And never want to leave
And then we awaken to realize
It's only in our dreams
