What happens when you run out of dreams?

What happens when you experience this profound revelation one day?

When you receive this inclination that LIFE is merely a book cover

Of a stained reality..

An eclipse totally contradictive

Of what the contents lying within really mean..

Chapter after chapter

Of drama - happiness - sadness and laughter

Of pain - birth - heartache and despair

Love and hate - and indifference trapped inside of silence

Awaiting the demise of relationships like a period that is late

So many moments and emotions perpetuating one`s existence

Until sometimes - time feels as if it has defied itself

Because sometimes you become so outdone by the chapters in between

That you keep stopping to read the cover over and over because -

You just KNOW that reality cannot - possibly be that mean...

So when this revelation takes its place

Within the winds of change

Standing still against your time

And twisting trails of salt down the smoothness of your face

You realize that you`ve been more places throughout life you didn`t necessarily want to be

You realize that you have felt - heard and seen more sides of reality

Through the faces - eyes and lives of others than you ever wanted to see

And you find yourself racing

Adding chapter after chapter

Because you`ll be DAMNED if your "the end"

Will not be preluded by a "happily ever after"

But then -

Circumstances stake their claim

And the refractory periods in between your chapters

Have become so long over due

That you find it difficult as hell to maintain

Due to being muted by spiritual - emotional and mental disasters

And instead of your dreams screaming to be redeemed

By what walking in the light as one of the BEAUTIFUL ONES

Is supposed to mean...

While you were preoccupied by that profound revelation

And its enigmatic conflicts that prolong the resolutions to LIFE and its situations

Truth has taken the liberty of redefining your dreams

With yet - another book cover of a stained reality

That never really was

At all what it seemed...
