Dream Versus Reality

I dream of sharing moonlit walks
along a mountain forest path
Reality is the absence
of someone to share such a dream

I dream of gazing at the stars
and wishing on the first I see
Reality is wishing stars
are a child’s tale to make them smile

I dream of dancing in moonlight
to songs of natures serenade
Reality is few can hear
above the noise of modern life

I dream of a sunlit romance
as spring turns to summers’ promise
Reality is that people
forget true loves’ simplicity

I dream an understanding man
to share all my magical dreams
Reality is do I search
in vain in a harsh pain-filled world

I dream, I dream in sweet slumber
weaving visions that fill my soul
Reality is I Believe
Dreams Win versus Reality

Oh, yes, dreams might win versus reality, but it is difficult to snuggle up to dreams . . . On second thought it isn't all that difficult after all, it's all according to who or what you might be dreaming. Dreams do come true I have been told.

I believe that what seems very real to us right now was once a fantasy and that a fantasy is in a since “real”.  Reality is thus a product of fantasy and that a fantasy can, given enough time and cultivation, will come real, just as living plants will, given time and cultivation, bear fruit.  It is said that the inability to distinguish fantasy from reality is a mental illness.  This may be so, but to me nothing can be real until it is first fantasized.  Why, I had to fantasize about coming to Colorado long before I finally got the opportunity to move to Colorado and without this preexisting fantasy nothing could have happened.
Thow he never speaks of it, this goose sometimes has a “Karen” fantasy.  She is indoginous and an inner figure (the inner feminine) who brings me love,laughter and consolation in a sometimes too harsh and painful world full of emptiness, that the arms and bed of this goose need not be empty.
And so, since this goose is crazy and can’t tell the differentce between “fantasy” and “reality,” he sends wonderous and passionate hugs to the star of Karen.
