The Dreams Of Night

It's our dreams that keep us going!

Deep in the mind of the adventurous soul

Rests the years of trying to be something more

Always striving to reach the unattainble goal

Ending up crawling into bed, tired and sore

The nightmares that come

Leave you sweaty and in a fright

Then you remember, life's left you numb

And you tell the beasts to have a good night

Image created with ChatGPT

You crawl out of bed, two hours earlier than you need

If only to record on paper the memories of your dream

Those horrible night thoughts, a story they did seed

But time is running out, or so it does seem

Image created with ChatGPT

Then along comes that final day

And a rest you have earned

It's time to go out and play

As you ride off into the setting sun, your skin nice and burned

About the Creator

The Man Behind The Mask

From fiction to reality there’s tons to share about this crazy life. From being a single father, an officer, and having had many insane adventures while I learned about the world, my imagination runs wild with ideas.
