And it was such a hard dream.
But that hard dream helped me
cover the day I was a fool.
And those dreams deliver tears.
Who knows where?

So I fixed my eyes upon the
battlefield and the more I
conquered the enemy the more
I had to cover the day I
was a fool.

And I covered that day with
salt.  I covered the battlefield
with salt.  And I covered the enemy
on the battlefield with salt.

It was a sweet season I had
been delivering.

Dreams.  They're hard man.
Because you're in there whether
you want to be or not.

And reality.  Who knows?
It gives you a whole lifetime
of days to be a fool.

Days you can be sure you
want to be in.

And days covered with salt.

Wow -- this is the first of yours that I remember reading....it will not be the last!

Masterful use of the half-said, but fully meant.

How true these words are... and how many of us use those days to their fullest??
Great job.

The honesty and wisdom in this causes me to save it...and, few I do....

I love it and could read it ten times and still get this feeling of contentment??? This feels right! Soul touching.

Enjoyed greatly,

Hugs, Pat

You may say I'm a dreamer.  But I'm not the only one.  I hope some day you'll join us.
And the world will live as one.
