Better Days


I had this frightening dream
But things were not as they seemed
I realized that in some ways
My frame of mind
controls the days
Despite intense feeling
Our mind makes it real and
We can always have
better days
*
A winding mirage
rises off the road
Steam rises off a lake
In nightmares there are
Billowing clouds of smoke
Fast fires that we create
*
In our mind and in our day
Burning moments wash away
In the ocean of life
Waves may overtake the flame
*
Then rise so fast up again
With the sun or
A gull that went diving
Got their prize
Now are thriving
Through mist off
the waves we are riding
*
I had this amazing dream
We each have this steady stream
We must make our play in some ways
As fate and time
control the days
We find intense feeling
Our time will stay real and
We can always have better days
