Am I Dreaming?
Is it possible to repair or at least neutralise past blunders? A poem
I don’t know if I’m dreaming
But it would be something good to see
Things went to hell in that handcart
It doesn’t matter who or why
You or me
It was the situation really
And the tiniest of moves
anger rigidity
Misunderstood
An overused word if ever there was
But only because it’s true
I’d like to observe something
That’s very rarely seen
A chat, a discussion
Something to show
That even after a friendship perfectly fine
Has turned painful, frightful and simply bad
Good things, great things even, from this can grow
And this can be agreed upon by the those injured
In a way that shows
That there is more that makes us all the same
Than ever pulled us separate, in pain
Things change of course
But nastiness need not be a certainty in that you know.
It might sound like a flight of fancy
But one day we will all drop the ego
And understand the complexities
That make us human
It starts here my friend
Am I dreaming?
I don’t see why it can’t be so
