Student’s Dream Poem by Tom Courtney

Student’s Dream



I just had a dream (It was late, late at night)
And dreams are... Well... You know...
They’re things that leave us wondering
Just where we’ve been (and where we’ll go)

I just had a dream (It was late, late at night)
And people were in it, I think, that I know
The place and the time were changed from the day
Because things were too easy and time moved too slow

I’ll tell you a little about my dream
My memory - impressions it left on me
The real facts of life were changed (and quite so!)
Because our work was all done and we were set free

The place was... Well... Kind of like the sky
And we could all just... Well... Kind of fly
Or just... Well... Float by like the clouds above
And all we had was just... Well... Love

There were no classes, jobs and such
And no more stress (at least not much)
No worries about the time of day
No deadlines, schedules, bills to pay

No broken pencils, mis-filed works
No missing staplers, other quirks
No messy copies, paper jams
No production reports or final exams

Our work was all done (but life was not through)
Just time to reflect on great things to do
I thought it was spring break (or so it would seem)
Because then I awoke. It was only a dream
