Elucidating Questions

Dreams are funny

The waking ones

This is a good number to have this topic on

It’s going to sound sappy

But don’t give up on them

I always sink so far

That dreams seem unrealistic

Foolish

But then little ones I had over the years

The kind of dream coming true that you turn back to your little self and do a high five

The baton pass of dream from unrealised to reality

I did it

You tell them

The you who saw the dream grow and disappear

As time, circumstance, or interpersonal relationships changed around you

It’s true and I won’t deny it

Some dreams never come true

But I think we should still believe in them

Believe up until the last moment that if we had enough time we’d find them somehow

Maybe in a different casing

Maybe in a different way than was expected all together

Believe that if you had all the time on Earth you would achieve them

Curse the frailty and impermanence of life

Never the dream for dreaming

Because isn’t that something that our society tries to beat out of us?

Dreaming, seemingly foolish things, is frowned upon, no?

Because it makes you a fool

My dream of a planet where there didn’t have to be peace because there was no war and every living thing was cared for, not domesticated, cared for

In balance with nature, not her adversary

That makes me a fool

Dreaming of myself living comfortably, as a disabled person who shouldn’t be working

That’s makes me a fool

So be it, I suppose

I’ll play the fool, it’s not like I haven’t, the Joker always hanging by

I think we need to believe in our dreams

Believe they’re attainable, make steps to make it so

Of course

It’s funny people call me a pessimist

That whole disappointed idealist thing rings true

I think of dreaming as somewhere where everyone has freedom

I forget in the moment that some people genuinely dream of taking people’s freedoms away

What a place this is

I’d say we should banish them, but I don’t want them to be on Earth so I suppose we should start banishing people by sending them to space

Head bad guy in charge could finally see Mars

Not that I really want them anywhere near any of my precious planets

I speak this question to the space around me because I don’t know who to blame

The Sun?

Saturn and Jupiter?

The Moon? Our Mother Earth?

How did you create these things?

Regardless and because they won’t give up on their twisted ideas

We have to dream harder

Believe harder, fight harder

Dreaming is so important

Fight for them

May they come together in the most unexpected and deeply satisfying ways
