to wake up from a dream
the sudden realisation that
it was just a dream
is maddening
dreams are no more dreams
as often I watch over myself
while dreaming
it's disheartening
it's not another world
where you are happy, sad
bickering, pathetic, miserable
it's here and now
so frustrating
what you thought was attainable
is perhaps a figment of your
imagination....no more reachable
because it's not a dream any longer
it's here and now here and now
don't scream out of anger
or disappointment
it's your late realisation
that you forgot to figure out
it's no more a dream
the world knew and therefore
it never stopped moving away
taking a course different
you stagnated because
you thought it was just a dream

Very well put!
ReplyDeleteThank you Rosemary 🙂
ReplyDelete"it's your late realisation that you forgot" ~~ way more than enough to cause me to scream. LOL
ReplyDeleteI love the way you interpret these lines.
DeleteSo true, once reality hits, the attainable in a long-lived dream seems further out of reach.
ReplyDeleteYes, true. It may be disillusioning but it's better to be face to face with hard hitting reality than to live with illusions.
DeleteNicely done.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much
Deletethis sets the imagination alive , well done.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much.
ReplyDeleteWell said. My sister had a dream in which she realized it was a dream.
ReplyDeleteIt happens
DeleteDreams. What's life without them? Even if the reality shatters them occasionally...
ReplyDeleteTrue. Certain illusions are required to live on.
DeleteThe trail of thoughts stops at a very important observation or rather realisation that if you continue dreaming about a dream, noticing what others did and not focusing on working to turn the dream into reality...the dream will remain a dream..good analysis.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for your incisive critique.
