[ Sometime A Dream ]
[ Is Not What It Seems ]

[ Could It Be About A Bunch Of Lies ]
[ Coming @ You While Wearing A Disguise ]

[ A Sunny Day Could Switch To A Big Dark Cloud ]
[ Then Your Quiet, Serene Dream, Would Become Really Loud ]

[ You Were Not Prepared For This ]
[ There Was No Such Word Like (STORM) On Your Nightly Dream
List ]

[ This Is Nothing On The Information Form ]
[ For Pushing The Letter (C) ]
[ To Make It The Norm ]

[ Letter (C) Was Always Calm ]
[ It Never Gave You An Ice Cold Palm ]

[ Why Do The Black Clouds Follow You, Coming Out @ The
Worst Moments ]
[ When You Are So Spent ]

[ After A Day Of Searching For True Solace ]
[ All You Do Is Get Yourself Into Another Mess ]

[ In Your Dream You Were Looking For True Solace, But Got
Interrupted ]
[ The Good Dream Never Continued ]

[357][ The Unicorn Search … 4•6•2021 ]

[ Where Is The Elusive Unicorn ]
[ I Feel That I’ve Been Searching For Her ]
[ For Over 21 Years After I Was Born ]

[ What City, Or State Should I Look? ]
[ There Is No (UNICORN) Definition ]
[ In Any Magazine Or Book ]

[ Does She Have Black, Brown, Red Or Blonde Hair ]
[ Is Her Skin Tan, Or Fair? ]
[ I Won’t Know ]
[ Until I See Her Standing Right There ]

[ Will She Ever Stand In One Place ]
[ So I Could Turn Her Around ]
[ & See Her Face ]

[ Does Every Guy Search For A Unicorn Of Their Own? ]
[ Or Is This Quest ]
[ For Me, To Complete All Alone? ]

[ I Climb Up On Every Perch ]
[ In Sight ]
[ So I Can Search & Search ]
[ Until There Is No More Light ]

[ I Hear The Tic-Tok, Tic-Tok ]
[ Of The Wall Clock ]
[ I Get Tired After A Walk ]
[ Around The Block ]

[ Then The Alarm Clock Goes Off & Shakes ]
[ Every Morning ]
[ This How I Wake ]
[ Nothing Is Boring ]
[ After The Deep Breath’s I Take ]

[ Through All This Time It Seems ]
[ That The Unsuccessful Search Has Just Been In My Dreams ]

[ Because My Dream Told Me That My Unicorn Has Always Been
In My House ]
[ For When I Look In The Bed Next To Me ]
[ My Unicorn Has Always Been My Spouse ]

[ For The Last 26 Years Of My Life ]
[ My Unicorn Has Always Been My Beautiful Wife ]

[ & Some People Swear That Dreams Never Come True ]
[ But From My View ]
[ Mine Has ]
[ So I Wish Yours Does Too! ]

(721)▪︎[ There Was A Dream … 8•27•2021 ]

[ Dreams Are Wonderful Things ]
[ Filled With Jokers, Queens & Kings ]

[ One Night You Could Be A Top Notch Card Player ]
[ Then The Next Night You Could Be A Hay Bailer ]

[ Bucking 100lb Bales Of Hay On A Truck ]
[ Learning How To Earn An Honest Buck ]

[ You Could Almost Dream Of Anything ] 
[ One Night Of Make Believe ]
[ Has You On The Stage Of AGT ]

[ Up There With A Mike In Hand ]
[ You Could Dance Around ]
[ Or Be Still In Front Of The Mike Stand ]

[ Maybe It Could Have You Dancing With The Jabbo Wakkies ]
[ As You Dance, You Find That You Are The Lead ]

[ Maybe You Dream One Night ]
[ That You Woke Up One Morning & Found That You Could
     Write ]

[ Not Little Things Like (MARY HAD A LITTLE LAMB) ]
[ But Amazing Stories Where Some People Say (DAMN) ]

[ You Write Another & Then It Is @ Least (2) Every Day ]
[ Before That Day You Never Knew The Way ]

[ Of Expressing Yourself In A Positive Manner ]
[ Now It Is More Than The Friendly Banter ]

[ So Is This Still A Dream? ]
[ You Say (NO) As Things Seem ]

[ You Spend Hours & Hours Of Writing Down Your Thoughts ]
[ They Definitely Do Not Come From Robots ]

[ They Have Feeling, Vision & Depth ]
[ You Even Write Stories That Have Made Others Wept ]
[ Those Are The One’s That You Kept ]

(685)▪︎[ A Good Try … 8•16•2021 ]

[ Have You Ever Run Into An Immovable Object That You
     Can’t Go Around? ]
[ There Is Not A Path To Be Found ]

[ Is This Object In Real Life Or Is It Solely In Your Head? ]
[ Is This Just A Problem In Some Of Your Dreams ]
[ That You Have, While Sleeping In Your Bed? ]

[ But It Is Now Consuming Your Thoughts ]
[ & Making You See Spots ]

[ Are The Spots Colorful Or Do They Just Come In Black &
     White? ]
[ Do You Go Left? ]
[ Or Do You Go Right? ]
[ Which Way Is Best For Your Sight? ]

[ Okay, Neither ]
[ One Works ]
[ Would Either ]
[ One Have It’s Quirks ]

[ Does This Problem That You See ]
[ Have The Capability ]
[ Of Being Multiplied By (3)? ]

[ Maybe The Problem Could Be Resolved When You Sleep ]
[ Really Deep ]

[ But There Is One Problem With Those Theories ]
[ It Comes With Many Queries ]

[ Can You Ever Get Deep Enough? ]
[ Most Of The Time That Seems To Be Really Tough ]

[ Without Knocking Your Resolve ]
[ This Problem Cannot Be Solved ]

[ It Was A Valiant Try ]
[ From Just An Ordinary Guy ]

(425)▪︎[ Was The Dream Real … 4•27•2020 ]

[ Sometimes I Wake Up In The Middle Of The Night ]
[ & I Have To Wipe The Fog Out Of My Eyes ]
[ So I Can Adjust To The Light ]

[ Then I See Something In The Shadows ]
[ I See Two Eyes & A Nose ]

[ Then I See ]
[ That I’m Looking In The Mirror ]
[ & It’s Me ]

[ I Look So Old ]
[ My Eyes Look So Cold ]

[ How Did Time Go By So Fast? ]
[ I Knew My Youthful Looks Wouldn’t Last! ]

[ But This Was Much Worse Than I Ever Expected ]
[ It Looked Very Obvious Up Close ]
[ It Was My Health That Was Neglected ]

[ My Skin Was Wrinkled & Gray ]
[ I Screamed @ The Mirror ]
[ Why Did I Let Myself Get This Way? ]
[ & It Became Clear ]
[ That I Didn’t Want To See What I Weighed ]

[ Then I Heard A Noise ]
[ It Was The Soft Sound ]
[ Of My Wife’s Voice ]

[ It Seemed ]
[ Like ]
[ She Was Startled Awake By My Scream ]
[ She Soothed Me ]
[ By Saying { YOU WERE JUST HAVING A BAD DREAM } ]

[ I Looked In The Mirror Once Again ]
[ I Saw That I Did Not Look Like Sin ]
[ Oh This Was A Win-Win ]

[ I Thanked My Wife For Waking Me Up ]
[ That’s When She Lifted Her Head ]
[ & Asked { I DID WHAT? } ]

[ So All That Was Real? ]
[ Now I Can’t Describe How Old I Feel ]

(517)▪︎[ What Are Dreams Made Of? … 5•27•2020 ]

[ If You Could Dream, Any Dream, What Would You Dream? ]
[ Would It Be Endless Trucks In Your Neighborhood ]
[ Filled With Your Favorite Ice Cream? ]

[ Chocolate, Vanilla, Orange Sherbet Or A Combination Swirl? ]
[ Covered With Hot Fudge ]
[ & The Tip Ends With A Curl? ]

[ My Dream Has So Many Moving Parts ]
[ It Would Never End ]
[ But I Really Don’t Know Where It Starts ]

[ The First Part Would Involve My Friend Maria, My Son, Some
Relatives Of My Wife & Nicole Of Course ]
[ Those Three Names ]
[ Are My Life Source ]
[ & I Feel No Shame ]
[ In Saying That Is Quite The Force ]

[ I’d Wish Eternal Happiness To My Best Friend ]
[ I Would Hope For Marital Bliss For Her To The Very End ]

(442)▪︎[ Another Dream … 5•26•2021 ]

[ Welcome To The Present ]
[ Where You Can Get Comments That You May Resent ]

[ From A Friend Or From A Family Member ]
[ Those Are The One’s That Hurt ]
[ & Seems To Be The One’s That You Remember ]

[ You Can Try To Shake Them Out Of The Memory Part
     Of Your Brain ]
[ You Can Try To Wash Them Out By Standing Outside In
     The Freezing, Pouring Rain ]

[ When The Thunder Booms ]
[ It Literally Shakes The Room ]

[ As Soon As You Go Outside ]
[ You Watch For The Lightning Strikes ]

[ But The Comments Are Still In Your Head ]
[ Do You Wait It Out ]
[ Or Take Your Night Meds ]
[ & Get Into Your Bed? ]

[ You Lay There Waiting For The Xyrem To Do It’s Thing ]
[ The Next Second You Are Watching The Start Of A Dream ]

[ Where Is This Dream Going? ]
[ Is There Water Flowing? ]
[ Or Is The Wind Blowing? ]

[ Maybe The Dream Is Taking You To Your Favorite Spot? ]
[ The Beach ]
[ You Have Had This Dream Alot ]

[ You Are Walking In The Sand ]
[ There Is No Time Schedule ]
[ Or Demands ]

[ Your Beautiful Wife Is Walking With You Beside Your Left
     Shoulder ]
[ She Is The One Person Who Makes Your World Go ‘Round ]
[ The One Who Has Not Just Been A Rock, She Has Been Your
     Boulder ]

[ She Has Been Much Bigger Than A Single Rock ]
[ That Would Be Like Comparing A Seiko Watch ]
[ To A Grandfather’s Clock ]

[ 25 Years Are In The Bank ]
[ You Look @ Your Wife, Because You Know, She Is The One To
     Thank ]

[ The Water Is Now Touching Your Feet ]
[ You Both Go Further Up The Beach ]
[ Looking For Your Seat ]

[ It Is Sitting On This One Very Big Log ]
[ When You Look @ The Ocean In Awe ]
[ No One Could Ever Convince You That There Is No God ]

[ This Is Your Favorite Part Of The Day ]
[ When The Sun Starts To Give Way ]

[ To The New Moon ]
[ & Because It Is The Middle Of June ]

[ It Was Getting Late ]
[ I Had To See The Whole Sunset ]
[ & I Saw That It Was, Worth The Wait ]

[ But … That Is Not What I Got To See ]
[ The Morning Alarm Was Going Off To Wake Me ]
[ Watching The Full Sunset Was Not To Be ]

[ Maybe Tomorrow Night ]
