What the Dream Is
It is a house half‑lived‑in,
pools still bright and new,
a storm that knocks before the doors are hung,
guests arriving when the work’s not through.
It is a small voice asking what school is like,
a name mistaken, a gentle correction said,
frozen patterns, chess and pearl‑shell light,
a sudden wonder: am I rich instead?
It is a leap that breaks the glass apart,
a chase that feels both now and long ago,
a path where memory and vision start—
a story told twice, only dreams can know.
It is a place where time folds back its seam,
and waking finds you still inside the dream.
“This story is shared just for fun, but it’s based on a real dream the author had.”
