Slip

Slipping can be elegant
If you're unexpectedly happy from the accident
Fall, not follow your dreams
Because a true dream is not planned
A true dream has the consistency of ice cream
Melting down you inner soul
Pull pull pull until you're full

A true dream

A true dream has its melting point... but if you place your tongue at its base, and lick away at the sticky sweet drippings... you will grow strong by its nourishment. Strong enough perhaps, to move on to the next dream... or at least sustain yourself long enough, till that next dream comes into focus. Not as glamorous, but nourishing... and very necessary.

If you're between dreams, just find a place to put your roots for a while. And sometimes you'll even surprise yourself, how nourishing ordinary life can be.

But don't give up the chase, or you will die from stagnation. Life is about moving forward. But I don't think I have to remind you of that. You seem smart enough to know that already.
