The Benefit of Dreams
(“Something from Nothing”, 2024, original encaustic)
The Benefit of Dreams
The benefit of dreams are many
They literally allow us to meet
The woman, or man, of our dreams,
Meet and even live a lifetime with.
Same goes for dream house, car, and job
Children and pets.
They allow us to experience the unimaginable
And unattainable,
And even sometimes force us to taste
True terror trapped in our own safe space.
But throughout it all we are only dreaming,
And knowing this, being reminded
Again and again
Carries over into waking life
Where sometimes the light of awareness
Can break through
And we know, without a doubt
We are still only dreaming…
