The Dream of the Butterfly

He dreamed he could fly on gossamer wings, and understands now why the sparrow sings. It all seemed so real he never thought twice, that a joy like that would come with a price. He thought to himself I'm living the dream, but what are the costs that are left unseen? Could the butterfly be dreaming of me, or somebody else dreaming all three? People walk around as if they were blind, to refuse to see is the darkest kind! Others wear glasses the color of rose, and refuse to see in front of their nose. Then there are a few that you can't believe, who can make magic nothing up their sleeve. The world is yours take it in your hand, every empire will turn back to sand. Every emperor that has been so far, is now just a name they gave to a star. This place they call Earth is a mystery, so live your dreams and let your soul run free! date:10/10/19 contest:Living The Dream sponsor:Line Gautier

meru, I like your message to the editor, 'The world is yours take it in your hand, every empire will turn back to sand.' This I can wrap my head around. -Richard
