Glint

By veingo

A man who sleeps a full day through surely needed rest.

And if he sleeps tools still in hand, he must have done his best.

But if within his slumber he finds just a glint, or gleam,

Should he feel blessed, or cursed when hope lives only in a dream?

    This is a deep insight with so few words. I love the reflection within a dream. It's a really good poem. Thanks for posting!

    A dream can be part of both, but we usually feel the latter I find. Something to ponder though. Thanks for taking the time to read my work.
