Dreams

You say when you dream your dreams
they are
not simply vivid
they are
more intense
more
real than the real

When speaking we use this word
dream
often we say we chase them
live in them
try to live them
always looking to them
as something better
worthier than what we have
or
what we are

I can only smile
without much understanding
listening to you
talk of and about dreams
when in any dream my imagination fails
to surpass my real
not so much in what I have but
what you are
