The subtle line that separates both 
is the perspective of our subconscious realm

Keep it short and clear.

Merely stating the feelings.

Has seductive ring to it.

Meet someone who is in grief.

a world away in the silence of the night

yet merely a dream away

For soon comes the time to reap

From the sea of folly, merely sip
Or you may reap the title: ‘Full of it!’
