Dreams Are Just For Dreaming

I slip on through the smoke screens hitting just a little too close night vision is a bonus to help me see right through no different from what I discovered some things will never change and I leave you like I found you with nothing rearranged I once passed you on the road your thumb out, hitchin a ride I was carrying a heavy load construction made a difficult drive no places on the shoulder no pull off posted by sign I stop in the middle of the street getting ticketed for my time dreams are just for dreaming made up of hazy fantasies real life is for real living not framing in a picture frame you take what He hands down place it with all the rest you do with it what you can hoping that you safely land so I stand on solid ground as the world spins round and round it is my competitive nature that won't let me back down I once took my best shot got a ribbon for second place but I was in the running I accept my trophy with grace

Hi JB! I think best when all our wonderful dreams become a reality. After all, our thought s make our world especially, unconscious ones. Just a little PSYCH 101, ha ha. But anyways, a terrific poem especially about taking your best shot! Love, Susan
