The Real Feel

Do you dream?
Do you dream of a better life?
Wish things turned out different?
Do you listen to the echoes of your days in the night?

Do you let go when dreams begin to feel real?
Scared of the edges, scared of the real feel?

Do you challenge the one true thing you should?
The questions left unanswered, the what ifs, the I coulds? 

Or do you run into the darkness of your time?
Do you run off the edges, do you long to take flight?
What do you do to make your dreams come alive?

Nicely put, YP. Dreams can be odd stuff. Takes some time to get them out of your head, even when you've been out of bed a while. Thanks for this one. (BTW, I'm a Yorkshire-born person, lived in the county for a good while before moving to West Mids and Wales.)
