-- Dreaming the Dream -- by John Herlihy Who dreamed the dream, No one will ever know. Only the dream that matters, All the rest lies in tatters. Beyond the horizon the dream, Available to all willing to wait. Reality not what it might seem, When standing bravely at the gate. Through all struggle and turmoil, Worry and hardship come to a boil. The dream lights the day with promise, The dream offers rare and holy solace. Our imagined reality is but a dream, Our imagined dream the one true reality. - - - - - Copyright © John Herlihy Monday 18 November 2024

It is amazing what dreams do for us. And your poem highlighted that.

I am reminded of Martin Luther King's famous I Had a Dream speech and oh, what a dream it was�

THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A DREAM THAT GOD DOESN'T KNOW ABOUT. ALL DREAMS THEN...ARE ALLOWED BY HIM. WILL THEY EVER BECOME A REALITY? ONLY HE KNOWS. BUT WE KNOW THIS, WHETHER THEY MATERIALIZE OR NOT...HE WILL NEVER LET US GO THROUGH ANYTHING THAT WE ARE NOT ABLE TO BARE. AMEN. GOOD WORK, ENJOYED. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS

Now there lay the questions�

�Who dreamed the dream..�

and what is reality?

I admire your taking on these
concepts and trying to make some
poetic sense out of them..

Impressive thoughts..

Wise and learned thought here, John. Like Picasso said: "Everything you can imagine is real." Certainly, you take on dreams fit the thought. Well done.
