Dreamlessness

The Unmaking of An Adventure of a Lifetime

Today, you woke up from a dream.

You don’t recall when it started —
sleeping so deeply
you stopped dreaming.

You’ve been so busy in wakefulness,
responding with responsibility,
you’ve been sleepwalking through life.

Lost in a land where
doing has deserted dreaming.
You’ve stopped making life,
into the adventure of a lifetime.

You abandoned adventure
for a dreamless slumber
when you stopped to remember:

To Live Well,
Dream Well.
