the world of dreams...

dreams. I have a few.

Some of them seem totally impossible; others are achievable. Some, surreal, others down to earth. We all have dreams.

For it is dreams that push us forward. The drive that fuels us onwards. But to what end? Each dream is a stepping stone. A foothold upon a cliff, leading towards impossible heights. As one dream is fulfilled, another takes it place. A constant ladder up to the sky.

In a way, our dreams are never meant to be fulfilled. For once your dreams are all turned into reality, then what is there for you to live for?

Life; Reality,is based upon strife and struggle. Heavy strides towards a castle in the clouds. But once the castle is brought down to earth, it becomes naught more than just another home. Slowly it will lose its lustre and become a part of the reality that is our life. For reality, has this odd ability to warp the wishes and dreams of people.

dreams, are bestowed with the gift of perfection; While reality, is a butterknife that smears that perfection, thus adding to it an odd beauty hidden beneath a blur of sadness and tardiness.

So my friend, when you have a dream,keep it there. A reminder of how perfect life could be. And whenever you find yourself in sadness and tears, look to your dream.

And then think...Oh how empty the life of a dream truly is. To be routine.To go through an endless elation and happiness without the feeling of being downtrodden or broken. Being a grapefruit suspended in life for an eternity. No grape could taste sweeter than the wine that comes from its destruction. No true loveliness could be created without the temporary appearance of ugliness .No swan could grow but from an ugly duckling.

So hold on to your dream. Hold on to it with a new light....
