Dreams...

Well, a lovely poem on makki's site http://watdoiright.blogspot.com/2004/12/dreams-i-like-to-dream.html got me thinkin on this one....

Dreams...

Dreams are for people to believe
Are a way in which they can relieve
The pressures of everyday life, and to leave
Every night thinking of what they could achieve.

Discoveries and Innovations, come not from working hard
Nor can you aspire to become a painter, artist or a bard
It is from the darkness of the night that ideas bombard
After which creativity shapes them and reaps the reward.

Dreams are something commonly understood as metaphysical
But to those who live it, its a beautiful rendering of a musical
Most of it seems so natural that people often construe it as practical
After all, its a cruel joke played by the brain for sadistic pleasure, in optical.

To those who are in doubt and diabolical
It is a way to recuperate, biological
To those seeking hope, its symbolical
Of the power of the unknown, albeit illogical.

Dreams are for you to think big and build careers
But more importantly, its a way to meet your inate fears
More often than not, its full of happiness and cheers
And even to the most hard-hearted soul, it adheres.

But alas, everything has a flip-side, and so does a dream
It doesnt visit the past and the future aint as lovely as it may seem
The brain is made to overwork to project wishful thoughts and beam
And almost every dream is too few and far-fetched to redeem.

All it does is last a night
With no immediate solution in sight
You dont really need it by right
If you hold onto yourselves, tight.

Dont let dreams amplify your plight
Dont let dreams take you on a fantasy flight
Dont let dreams fool you into thinking you are elite
Dont let dreams misguide you into taking things light.

However, dreams have lived on for ages, everyone knowing it, despite
Keeps haunting you in your sleep, day in and day out, without respite
As irony would have it, when it is at its height, its equivalent to a blight
But surely, whatever said and done, dreams are a delight :)
