Must We Shun All Dreams
Must we shun all dreams
and be told not to fantasize?
Isn't it unrealistic and unromantic?
We need to dream when stars
are above our drowsy heads:
don't they guard our dreams
from all the forces stronger than us,
darker than shadows that seem frantic
and frighten us with their size?
We need an escape from worries!
Close those blinking and weary eyes
and let your new dream begin right away,
don't open them for any reason...
stay in that realm of fantasy!
Oh, should you renounce dreams
and become another soul of desperation?
I suggest that we allow ourselves
to be carried away by mysterious dreams,
become more powerful than reality
and continue dreaming as we have lately;
every piece will fit into place without missing
anything that we are afraid of losing!
Must we shun all dreams
and trust in false perceptions
leaving us empty-handed?
How foolish it'll be to let them end...
when persistence can change everything
without the thought of surrendering!
