Dream Branches

Branches of Dreams
(we don't have any Green Ants in America)


We may set some goals beyond our reach,
and segment plans as practical steps
to climb beyond limits of others …
and these are called dreams.

Source mused on not being alone,
the joy of sharing idle chatter --
and we were loved into existence …
and this is called a dream

Nurture fantasies beyond reason,
and blame others for their failure,
while marching to a broken drum …
and still call it a dream.

Our body collapses in agony
while the mind churns on in panic --
attempting to sort out discordance …
and this too is called a dream.

But oft-times my spirit remembers,
and my soul finds delightful balance,
and my heart reaches out and on to thee …
yet we do not call this a dream.

I like the way you subtley weave those vital insights into the grace and beauty of poetry. Just lovely.
