Only dreams away

 
What if everything
was a dream away?
When I was a boy,
my night of dreams
were so vivid...
I'd awake in eager panic
looking for that toy,
that I only owned
in my sleep.

I would eventually
find reason, and resolve.
I just knew that,
"reality" wasn't involved.
Even if it was unreality,
it was mine to enjoy as I pleased.

My young heart
had created a way,
to enjoy having
what life never gave.
