Dream

We’re all dreaming somewhere
on our way to discovering
how reality compares
with everything we want
and is it wrong to want
the universe?

Of course
I don’t mean control over
the universe
but the again how else
will things turn out as I want?

It aches to reason
my desires against reality
like those sores that surface
out of nowhere, making you
still
as you wait
for it
to pass

And I can’t force reason
to see how I do and when
I try, some big part of
the dream is stuck
in the past, unrevivable
like how it can feel
to face the truth
of your dream

But still
