02-18 Equanimity

To truly dream is daring,

reserved for the dedicated

bravest of the few

tenacious chasers

of ever changing goals.



The few will have the dream

yet fewer still will follow through,

the former wasting their commitment

on a fading static view.



Status Quo is easy to achieve

success even more so

but a dream is something bigger

something harder to control.



For,

to truly dream opposes

prescribed forms of sanity and

in fact, the only cure

of maddened mindsets

that only search out souls.



Insanity’s release

enabled only by pursuit

of such intangible designs

which refuse to follow suit.



These kind of dreams often mocked,

patronized and disbelieved

unappreciated in their time

have legacies to leave.



To truly dream is foreign,

in such a hope there lies the only

chance to reconcile

the criticisms

that threaten greatest minds.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This is simultaneously one of those narrow gate vs. broad gate things as well as the rarity of full realization of self.
