Dream on

*The dream is real, my friends. The failure to realize it is the only reality. --Toni Cade Bambara

I slept with Dream - all through the night,

She n I had a lovely time, till break of dawn

My eyes searched for her - she was outta sight.

Miss Reality laughed and said "Dude, shes gone."

I got dressed and left to look for Dream,

I searched hard and looked far,

An easy task it did not seem.

Planing my next move, I sat in a cafe nearby,

The thought of finding my Dream, I felt lost.

Then the doors opened, and entered Despair,

He got a double espresso and sat before me.

I asked if he saw Dream, his look did scare.

"She probably aint coming back, kid", he laughed at me.

With that he left, and I called on Solace's number,

Tears welled, when I knew, I could'nt reach her.

With two shots of tequila, I left for my villa,

Saw Hope at my door, saying "Cry no more".

Smiled and asked "Why are you here ?"

She hugged me and said "You need me, dear."

"Thats your life" pointing to Reality, she then said.

"But dont stop chasing your dream", she took me to bed.

In yearn for my Dream, I was losing morality,

She whispered,

"Have me, have Hope, Ill turn your dream to Reality."
