Dreams

I dreamed of times that don’t exist
Beyond the here and now of today
I think of things that will not happen
And fall asleep to journey through the thoughts

I create the tales inside my mind
And live them out in dreams at night

With the morning’s light
My dreams disrupted
I wake from them
To walk the day

A day that holds me in real time
I trudge through as I plan my escape
Then later at night
I will dream as I lay.
