Reality Check

It is happening again, As my dreams have surpassed, My normal day-to-day experience, And all of its too fast. So then, my head screams, STOP! And of course, I immediately hit the brakes. At which time my heart asks, WTF? Are you crazy, for heavens sakes? Soon enough, my logic begins In its battle with raw emotion, Just as my search looks back For any new found devotion. What I find is a casual faith, Based on lengthy promises and wealth. Where my sacrifice is the first to show, Well before my own personal health. Then I realize, this is pure risk to me, Yet to the other, It's an easy and solid return. From my investment into the ethereal, As if I have all this money to burn. Here is when I begin to wrestle, As hope and common sense begin their fight. And while my fantasy puts up a good battle, My realistic conclusion is victorious and right. Since this leads to passing judgement, Where I frolic back to that perennial square one. I'll be compelled to seek another dream, While hopefully avoiding a rerun.
