The Dream


image source

I do not know my future,

i barely know my past.

I only know i feel good now,

and i pray that it will last.

Wisdom of past masters,

to guide me through the dream,

but the path is still elusive,

makes me want to scream.

To hear a child say:

"if i grow up" helps me see.

The dream can be fearful,

the truth is hard to see.

Distractions are a constant,

peace, it is elusive.

Heaven only knows, i don't,

exactly what truth is.

So i laugh and live,

if only for the moment.

The dream is one inside.

The dream, most of us

need to know it.

  4. It's all about living in the moment as you've so eloquently expressed in these prose.

  5. Lovely poem and a good example of what it feels like to be in spiritual transition - and how to create a coping skill to keep your balance!
