O To Dream

O TO DREAM

To dream a dream
And not speak of it
It is like holding a feather tip
Aloft a scroll
Holding back says
That from the heart
Should flow…

To dream a dream
And just dismiss it
Like old news
No longer of use
It is like
Watching a fire
Burn low
While you sit in the cold
On purpose
As the world turns
Hours old…

O to dream
And not smile
Is to see nightmares come alive…
O to dream and not hope
Is to be as one
With no soul…

To dream and speak of it
Is to be
Alive, in the now
Happy.

To dream and not
Dismiss it
Is inviting into your life
Ever wonderful things
Which to delight in.

To smile when you dream
Is a charm to ward off
Unwanted feelings.

The next time you dream then
Be certain to
Talk of it
With a smile and a lively
Spirit…

Dreams can change your life
And they do
Once you let them
Be that feather tip
That writes your life out
Minute by miniscule minute…!
