DREAMER


Who am I if not a dreamer?

Not a writer or poet
not a teacher or mother
maybe before the age of steam
people worked too hard to dream
Who am I if not a dreamer?
not a sports enthusiast
not an actor or gardener
work is now compartmentalized
our extracurricular is super-sized
Who am I if not a dreamer?
not an adventurer or student
not  game player or changer
my mind is buzzing and blinking
multiplied by facts for thinking
Who am I if not a dreamer?
professor of possibilities
and a strategic schemer
I am not just a survivor
there is magic to fly for

Are there people without dreams? Who are they? What do they do?

Weekly Poem


Dream Easy

Easy to dream
hard to achieve
no matter how I
weave and weave
the silver strands
through my thoughts
it's not enough
to materialize
difficult to realize
that some whimsy
will never be
though oh so clearly
In my mind I can see
and touch the
quasi-reality of
there being brought
from dust to touch
no matter how determined
or persistent the desire
a stark existence
enflames the fire.

by Marcy Santos

How do you deal with the stark difference between your dreams and how difficult they are to attain?
