IMAGERY

I don’t know
what a dream is about
Something mundane and peaceful or
startling, causing a shout
Many possibilities
Like black cats flying
or dogs on unicycles
Maybe Van Gogh women sighing

Stay awake
Try to think
Keep moving forward
Dare not blink
Isn’t action better
than sleepy dreams
Why do deer freeze
in auto-light beams

Their lack of action
can bring sure death
Our lack of action
could cause wrath
People will wait
Give you a chance
Dreams or reality
You choose
It is your dance
