You have a dream in which
someone painted a painting
you wish you had painted
&
You have another dream
where someone made a book
you wish you had made
&
In another dream it's a song
you wish you had thought up
first
&
You awaken remembering
all three clearly
&
you think Oh so
that's what they were talking about
when they spoke of dreams in such a way
You go outside & the world
seems almost brand new There is magic
in little corners where the light
only touches at toe level & so
you go there & when
you return the world & all
its creatures are better for the journey.
