Reality Check

Trumpets sound in the Kingdom

declarations have been made

listen, head the advice of the many

Dreams do not exist

exiled and banished from

written word or scroll

Fairy tales spun

in the night as a Mother

reads to her child

hoping

wanting

needing

for her to have a dream 

a life beyond the pain

of her own

Even if it's only one page

let it be known to her 

dream in the breath 

of love

Actual reality check...

The dream is the world outside

my door

The dream may be the stranger

touching my hand in hello 

as I pull away

The smile you received by the

handsome onlooker while reading

at the local library or at the coffee shop

Possibly the man with a smile on

his face as he watched you in silence

while you danced uninhibited by

societies confines and rules

Maybe the reality is love is not a fairy tale

to be told...

In truth 

it's to be held in the light of day

in the darkest of nights

with arms wrapped around you

with kisses given made up of your

own passion guide

Love and the making of it...is not

a dream...it's a reality of two.

Needs, wants, desires being fulfilled

So no more dreaming

no more wishing upon a star so 

distant

untouchable 

unattainable 

Tomorrow I will pay attention

to the reality...

and be numb once more

in the Kingdom of sleeping

dreams

Dreams are like any other living thing. They need nurturing and when they feel wanted and appreciated, they grow in power and thrive.
Care for the good ones and do not be afraid to see where they lead. Love and peace. <3 xx
