Getting lost in a dream

 


I sometimes get so lost in a dream,

lucidly planting new thoughts to bloom,

turning water from puddles to a stream.

I wipe with a cloth to scrub away the gloom,

sweeping through every picture book scene,

giving it all a spring clean.

So that you can see

its magnificence reflecting back on you.

 

Dreams can elicit so many emotions.

Feelings kept hidden from pages,

too scared to let them venture from lips

terrified that if they slip

they will never get up again.

Dreams show us

that what we think impossible

is truly plausible,

with just a positive outlook

and the will to stand tall

when we wobble,

thinking we will fall.

 

Dreams can be a home from home,

a place to go when things seem wrong,

to visit when you feel glum.

It isn't a crime to want

to have some “you” time,

away from the light, out of the sun,

just you

letting your thoughts playfully run.

Dreams help us to shape our outcomes,

guide us to become better humans,

make us see beauty

when it's been sat

in front of us for so long.

 

We can have nightmares, this is true,

but fear is an energy too,

an energy that we can use.

Let it flow through you,

and then let it wash away, cleansing

the world of the fear you once held.

Life can be scary enough

that any dream couldn't compete

with its snarling anger, the hate we meet,

but nightmares show us

that any evil, we can defeat.

Any beast will ultimately fail,

falling at our feet,

as we wake again in the renewed colour

of a world reborn,

and walk free, into the glow of the

low morning sun.
