Futurist

The Futurist
I was looking into the magic box of colours 
and saw a kaleidoscope of dreams ready to
be released to those with a vision.
A saw the dream of a farm hand and his 
milk maid girlfriend they were getting married 
and the dream was to lease a bit of land and
start a pig breeding farm. A dream measured to 
the reality of what was possible. 

 Most dreams in the box were fanciful, the ones  
one smiles about in mature years, yet worth 
dreaming as it makes the dreamer aware of colours 
shifting hue.  Sifting through discarded dreams 
I didn´t find mine, which I was glad of, because my 
dream has yet to be fulfilled.

This is magic Jan. Reminds me of my granddaughter's snow globes and sorcerers and happy dreams always to come. Another favorite now.
