Once I saw two dreamers
sitting on a sandy beach,
I wanted touch their hands, their faces
but my hands would not reach
so, instead, I spoke to them
and asked them to explain
the dreams that we dream
and how they bring us pain

“Pain?” one laughed
as I sat down
“dreams are full of joy
and cheer and circus clowns!
they teach us
the value of each day
so we do not sit
and simply waste away.”

Well I got up,
and taking his advice
I ran off, wanting
to live my life
And you know something?
he was right
I enjoy each day
as I dream at night
