What If It Wasn’t A Dream

People want a life
 with imagery similar
  to that of their dreams.

They wish to replace
 the everyday, mundane grind
  with nocturnal views.

But how do you transfer
 all of what slumber concocts
  over to your waking hours?

The answer is easy
 but hard to initiate -
  Just get out of bed.

This stops the dreaming
 and starts the changes needed
  so you’ll feel alive.

Opening your eyes
 let’s you see the wonderment
  that’s always been there.

That which can be dreamt
 pales in comparison
  to that which can be achieved.

Life has vibrancy,
 beyond imagination,
  if you go live it.
