Imagine

What if a dream should actually come true? Can you imagine how that really might feel? One day you are laying down flat on your face, The next day you are dancing a 'Scottish reel.' 'Good accidents' can befall the unlucky, And 'bad luck' can sometimes cripple the chosen, A tropic typhoon can ruin a vacation, An arctic heat wave can thaw out the frozen. You should know dreams are not just about venting, Not just part of a 'Walter Mitty' life style, Your dreams can be precursors to real action, The kind that just might make your own life worthwhile. It is not enough just to want what you want, At the very least one more step you will find, To visualize first how your life would be changed, This act alone might just bring peace to your mind. To visualize something is in fact to dream, The difference is just that you're conscious, All the action still taking place in your brain, All the chemistry is in your subconscious. We're all glad God leaves some prayers unanswered, Well it turns out that not all dreams are equal, Before you say dreams are a waste of your time, Think! Any dream can give birth to a sequel. I hear some of you saying you don't get it, And you think that fate is not an elective, But don't throw your baby out with 'bath water.' Please just reflect on the powr' of perspective.
