Inside a dream
is the propensity to cancel
itself out
There is a device that splits
the dream between yesterday
and tomorrow
The dream is in the past
but its about the future
assuaged in the future
no one knows
desire is the not-yet
desire lies ahead
not behind
projects yet to be realised
aspiration that quickens
starts and spurs us on
whispers from the future
a dream is a promise
beckoning from the future
a seed yet to bud
what compels us
to wait, a frail, wan
breeze of hope
a trigger and a brake
a dream reminds us
that reality is nothing
we can’t shape
in our favour
in preparation
of the not yet
to come that fuels our senses.
