Poem that speaks about the myriad inner workings of the dreamer
.........DREAMER!!...........

DREAMER!!..(said forcefully)...........are you a harm?
What reflection have you upon your charm?
Is what you see, that which is not?
Only dis.............entangled thought?
When you ride your flying shovels high above the ground
Or drive your electric clothes dryers into and through the town,
Do you wonder if your mind is sound??

DREAMER!!..(said scoffingly)......do you stand so far apart?
Were you woke this morning with a start?
Did the things you saw jumpstart your heart?
Was the horse behind the cart?
Were you lost inside your art?

DREAMER!!..(said quizzically)..........do you remember when,
You were scared and no one cared.
When you were magical, mystical,
Emotional, elliptical
As you jumped through hoops of someone's typical......
......commands?

DREAMER!!..(said laconically)...........are you for real?
In your act of seeing things you cannot feel
Have you struck a morbid deal?
Lost and found,
Choked and bound,
Free from any real sound
Like the fox chased by the hound
Are you only going round.......
.......The wheel?

DREAMER!!..(said apprehensivley)......what about the mirror?
Is that something you should fear?
What if looking deep inside
You see that which you know must hide.
What rule then........
.......will you abide?

DREAMER!!..(said wistfully)..........you are complex
The muscle of that mind you do so flex,
That some of us you can perplex
Like doctor's hammers.....the little pecks
We wonder, worry......what might be next?
Your things you see, are not in text
We cannot read, we cannot test
We must endure your mensa jest.

DREAMER!!..(said disgustingly)......why do you complain?
It is you who makes your pain
Thinking thoughts so very plain
Measured out against the grain
Of Humanity's sanity
Sans.......sans.....sanity
You have your vanity
Only you......
.....complain

DREAMER!!..(said with authority)......NOW PAY HEED!
You must from now, turn thought to deed
Mankind is lost and much in need
Of honest acts thrown out as seed
The world is not that which it seems
It has stayed upon your dreams
Like mental, tangled, twisted beams
It's chaos built from insane means

DREAMER!!..(fadingly)..do not worry my friend
You are a sturdy, worthy blend
This advice I to you lend
Do not worry.............
.....................ACT!!
