A dream is but a fantasy-
I’ve heard some people say.
But I do not believe it…
I have to say them, Nay!

A dream is truth unrealized-
But truth, nevertheless…
And dreams do tempt and torture me
Quite often I confess.

I dream of that that cannot be-
And yet so real it seems-
It grieves my heart when I awake
And find it only dreams.

The words of love I never hear-
With ears of flesh, resound-
And thrill my heart, and give me joy
When dream time comes around.

So, I will dream, and then awake-
To sad reality-
I realize these dreams of mine-
All serve to make me… me.

Yes, dreams are very real, John.  

I am glad that:

"[You] realise those dreams of [yours]-
All serve to make [you] . . . [you]."

With Rhyme-Sublime,
Sweet dreams..

Sky~

I am pieces of all the moments I've had
& the people I've loved,  I've been stitched together by laughter, tears, poems, art, song lyrics & melodies,
