Dreams speak to us of wonder,
of worlds you can only ponder,
in an inconceivable distant realm,
which will your senses overwhelm.
When conscious thought subsides,
in the underworld the mind resides.
But far from Hades or the Biblical Hell,
it is a timeless nocturnal wishing well.
Inspiration, courage, direction and desire
are the sparks emanating from the chaotic pyre.
Wisdom comes much later, with a struggle,
for it’s not a thing you can in your soul smuggle. ...
