A Sestina for Dreamers
At night, I travel to a world
Different than the one I know.
Each night opens a new adventure
To fill my sleep with happy thoughts
And wild fantasies. But when I open
My eyes, reality comes rushing back.
All day, I long to go back
To the magical world
That my mind continues to open.
It consumes my focus and I know
The magic is the center of my thoughts.
I eagerly await my next adventure!
Each dream is a new adventure;
To a previous one I may not go back
But rather I may relive them in my daytime thoughts
To combat the strains of the real world.
I persevere through each day because I know
A new dream I will soon be able to open.
I dread the moment when I open
My eyes after a new adventure.
My hope is for others to know
The bliss of dreams before reality comes back
To return them to the real world.
How thankful I am for my new happy thoughts!
My dreams fill my thoughts
Creating magic in the world where my eyes are open.
Suddenly I see positivity in the real world
From the depths of my adventures.
Now, I don’t need to go back
To my dreams; happiness is in both places I know.
The comfort of my dreams I know
Well; it stretches to my daytime thoughts
And always has my back.
At night, I’m eager to open
My mind to the newest adventure.
It is a truly wonderful world.
But now, each morning I will come back
To a world full of thoughts
Of wild adventures I can have with my eyes open.
