Do you dance into the fires, knowing you’ll get burned
In search of intense desires, fearlessly unafraid that your advances will be spurned
Say you won’t be the one to pour your sorrows out in liquid pain
Tell yourself to enjoy your life and fearlessly walk along singing in the rain
Roll with what your life throws at you and keep your head held high
Always leave them wanting more and never let them see you cry
Catch yourself dancing each and every day my friends
Take it all in stride and treat it like a party that never ends
In every thing and all you do, try to dance everyday
Open up your heart and mind to living a happier way
Never be afraid to seize the day or carpe’ diem as the smart folks say

B. A. Durham’s False Memories blends dream and reality in a seamless mix. As his father, afflicted by Alzheimer’s, fades away, the narrator is haunted by a dream that may be a memory, returning to him insistently. The piece is full of wonderful detail (the father touching his lip where once there was a mustache, “but now he is clean-shaven—he has been for years” — and moving in revealing the complexities of a family’s life. A worthy winner which shows the power of dreams to influence us.
