A Dreamy Sunday with LC

Always to Dream

by Lemuel Crouse

Do you know what it's like

Always to dream?

Oh, not at night,

When mortals dream,

But always.

To dream of making a difference.

To dream of a better world.

To dream of horrors, too,

Past, present, future.

Dreams unceasing,

Sometimes overwhelming,

Always vivid, visceral, evocative.

How easy to lose myself in them.

How hard to know what's real.

How very hard to push them aside

And do what needs doing

Each day.

Without you I am lost,

Adrift on a sea of dreams,

No land in sight,

Slowly taking on water

Until I sink into the void.

Thank you, my love for keeping old emails!
