There Once Was a Man

If I only had a dream !

There once was a man

There once was a man of simple thoughts

his dreams however carried him to a higher plateau

that left him feeling empty when he awoke

in his dreams he played games with angels

he sang beautiful songs with sinners and saints

he knew how and when the world began

he even felt the touch of God on his shoulder

but when he awoke from his dreams

he felt sad and of severe despair

for with each moment's passage

his memory of his dreams faded away

he no longer could remember the names

of the angels he had played with just moments earlier

he could not recall the songs he had sang

songs with kings and Queens and paupers

he could no longer feel the impression left

on his shoulder by the hand of God

he wanted to return to his dreams

where all concerns and fears were non existent

where angels were not that different

from the children he had played with

when he was younger

the sinners and saints were former

friends 

acquaintances

rivals enemies lovers

the perfect balance of love and understanding

the way it should be

the way it could be

if only this man could accept truth

What is the truth? When you find that truth let me know.
This is a little sad Gomer, dreams are just dreams until we make them more.
Well written and thought out piece.
