Dreaming for the Waking World

What is it to dream

if you see it as a far off place

a reality to imagine & never experience

a hopeless wish that remains impossible

an act more grand than faith in yourself

a story of wonder & nothing more

a fantasy reserved for the sleeping mind

What is it to dream

and leave it at that

just a dream

a mere thought

a forgotten love

a lost soul

an endless yearning

a deep sadness

of a dying dream
