Dream Sweet Dreams

By Henry Coldnight

Dream sweet dreams
What is a dream
Dream is something only in your head
something too good to be true
sometimes you wished for

Or something never happened
sometimes you dreaded
sometimes you denied
with your so called reasons

Or something that could happen
in the past or future
but you don't have any particular feelings
neither love nor hate
just uncertainly-- that's what makes it
interesting--

Reality sweet reality
What is reality
Reality is something you can hang on to
something too true to escape
something you lived with

Or something already done and done
too late to change
too late to improve
even if you want to
even if you tried to

Or something everyone agreed upon
something you believed strongly
something you just know
it's the inevitable--
because there's no way that
it could be explained otherwise
unless--

Dreams and Reality
two sides of a giant soap bubble
