Every day I walk the plank of this pirate ship <br />and hear voices saying <br />'Just keep going, take the risk.' <br />Risk? There is no risk on ships <br />with planks out over the sea. <br /> <br />What you have there is death and certainty. <br />'Other voices say, 'What are you doing? <br />Come back off that plank! ' <br /> <br />I say 'Sure. <br />If I do, the pirates will simply <br />take their swords and run me through; <br /> <br />saber-death or drown in the sea <br />look to be the choices for me. <br />except: <br />I could get to the edge of the plank <br />open my wings and soar <br />leaving them all behind in astonishment. <br /> <br />Yeah, that's what I can do. <br /> <br />Now that is the beauty of a dream- <br />if you know what you are doing- <br /> <br />you can take control of your own dreams <br />and make things happen in the real world <br />by doing so. <br /> <br />So if the monster chases you in your dream <br />turn right around and face the monster <br />and say <br />'Whose dream is this anyway? ' <br /> <br />Poof the monster is gone. <br /> <br />Try it some time <br />you'll see. <br /> <br />It's your dream <br />isn't it? <br /> <br />Pop some monster; <br />you feel better for it. <br />and it just might change your waking life too.<br /><br />Lonnie Hicks<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/whose-dream-is-this-anyway/
