living the dream

you are your dream -

the vision you hold on to
rules each moment you live

you speak, warm your toast,
cover it with butter and jam
and revel in its simple satisfaction,
settle further into a complacent life

it haunts the back of your mind
a loud, giant monster that
refuses to be killed

let the dream in
let it creep closer and closer
to the front
let it ride next to you,
your soul companion -
a gentle beast to guide your way

let it startle you as it starts to happen
your steps speed up, your two
hands and one spectacular mind
join forces
you build it
