I Always Dream..................................... Poem by RIC BASTASA

i dream that i am strumming
a guitar as you sing your favorite song
i dream that i went on diving with the whales
as they were playing their games.
i dream that i went to space as an astronaut
floating and dancing
i dream that i topped the examination and then
answered interviews for the press release
i dream that i bought two new flashy cars and i drive one
with you
i dream that i have lots of money in the bank and going on a
vacation somewhere in vienna and munich.

and then i wake up, open once more to the reality that those were just dreams and did not really come true.

and then i welcome the real world and make myself ready for this day's work.
