Dream Possiblities

 

Dream Possibilities

 

 

 

I dream

About dreams…about dreams

My imagination is endless

Continuous but abrupt

Rough, then filled with finesse

Since dreams are not restricted to finite reasoning

They are the extravagant thoughts of our subconscious

 

I’ve gone back in time and written plays with Shakespeare

We stayed up all night hallucinating with harlots

Dancing with meteorite fairies on the moon

 

I was the water that Jesus walked upon

The papyrus that his apostles penned

I learned lessons through the catechisms of his disciples

Who were nothing but ordinary men

Though easily susceptible to the temptations of the corrupt

They became tough through the strength gained from faith

Turning them into martyrs in the end

Because they wouldn’t let anyone tell them what they could believe in

 

 

I dream

About dreams…about dreams

They originate in destiny’s garden

Another fork-splitting path with different outcomes, but there’s no outlined map

I’ve seen the lost despair of a plane in the sunset with nowhere to land

With no direction, it turns into sand and falls

As it’s planned

 

I’ve witnessed an Armageddon with no end

An unforeseen battle where Destiny disproved the theory behind his identity

Since he disagreed with God and the Devil

Leaving everyone in delirium with songs unsung

Proving that there is no set path

That we choose our way through Fortune's maze

That we shape our future by the decisions we make

 

 

I dream

About dreams…about dreams

Where cancer is no longer the silent killer

Instead, it has the positive affects of steroids

It pumps the body up and makes a person stronger

There’s no need for a cure

Doctors vanish to obsolete

No need to face the pain of chemotherapy and cell mutating destruction

And no need to say goodbye to families

 

Because in dreams

Anything is possible

Anything is possible and all thoughts are entertained

 

And that is exactly why

I dream

About dreams…about dreams

Hey You,
Long time no talk to. Thought I would stop by and see what you were up to and I stumbled upon this piece. I love that dreams are full of endless possibilities. That they can go on any path you choose and that you will always end up somewhere new. Dreams are the place where our imaginations take us. Shel Silverstien said,

"If you are a dreamer, come in,
If you are a dreamer, a wisher, a liar,
A hope-er, a pray-er, a magic bean buyer...
If you're a pretender, come sit by my fire
For we have some flax-golden tales to spin.
Come in!
Come in!"

Never stop dreaming, you never know where they will take you. Good luck with the reading. I'd love to know how it turns out.

This was awesome. It had a story and it had emotion. There was nothing in this that could be summed up in a few sentences or thoughts but really it has a variety of thoughts, emotions and feelings throughout. I really liked the almost song like quality with a chorus between each stanza. Great work.

Good poem Lalli! I think this would be a good one to read there! I love the premise and the repeated "I Dream about dreams....about dreams". But I still want you to go harder. I loved going back to be with Shakespeare and Jesus, but I would've loved for you to be "dreamier" and keep going! So many magnificent and tragic things have happened in history that I would've loved to see what your dream would've been like! A less talented writer, I would've been just happy with the pace, but I know your work, and it just being my opinion, I would've loved to see it gone further.

Your rhyme scheme and words were perfect once again, and I loved moments like....


"I dream

Your mind is just elsewhere sometimes when I read s**t like this. Exceptional!
