Everyone Dreaming
March 13, 2016
“Dream”
- the word, like the idea it represents,
cannot be defined,
not exactly.
There is
the sleep kind
and
the day kind,
the good kind
and
the bad kind.
There are
wish-dreams
and
wild dreams,
dreams to follow,
and
dreams to wake up from.
They sneak on padded paws
only to dart away,
leaving their prey a fistful of fuzz
that doesn’t quite match the real world.
