Dreams Change

All kids have dreams
but as time passes dreams change
so what’s the thing about dreams?
dreams can make a difference in your life

Or maybe not

Dreams do carry you
for a while
but then reality speaks
and the call is heard

Hey idiot!

This is your life and you’re in it
you make your dreams—how you may ask?
by working, working, working your dreams
procrastination stultifies dreams, and they wither

Don’t let them dissolve away

Dreams delayed make them lethargic 
dreams don’t like waiting
waiting withers fertile, creative minds
and procrastination is no place for them to wallow 

Delay creates an inactivity of meaningful dreams 

Dreams that could have power
can work against themselves
dreams rot in inactive minds
dreams can be good guides but can also dissipate

Lying dormant in mental pots like prisons

Dreams at rest annoy needing action
dreams are best when they sweat with work
hard labor leads them to nirvana 
dreams become real at that point

Attaining a status of strength 

Obliterating laziness and indolence
lethargy and sloth
effort becomes reality 
reality then becomes effort achieved

Action and success occupy your life

Your dreams mature to opportunities
and life lives in positive possibilities
which translates to dreams do come true
making dreams real

Dreams are there to enrich you when the task is done 

Just recognize where the points of departure are
from fantasy to actuality
from fake to real
from empty imaginings during sleepless nights to accomplishment

And there is no reward better than satisfaction.
