Life is but a dream

Life is but a dream

Some days it feels like a bad dream,
Other days it feels just as it seems,
We keep doing what we know best,
Keeping our head above water with only a life vest.
Some days the tide is calm and still, relaxing,
Other days the tide is rough and harsh, taxing.
We fear the unknown which lurks below us,
But we still jump in, curious of what waits for us.
Some days the water is warm and inviting, summery,
Other days the water is cold and displeasing, blustery.
How can something so beautiful promise both pleasure and gloom?
Why can’t the ocean be like the picture on the wall, the ocean we presume?
We get so jealous of that ocean, the one on the wall,
Because we know it’s but a dream to us all.
Life isn’t full of just sunsets and ocean tunes,
It ebbs and flows with the sun and the moon.
It rises and it falls because the tide is never the same,
But don’t let this diminish your fire and flame.
It’s worth the risk to find out what lurks below,
You never know if it’s an opportunity to grow.
God gave us life to live, take chances,
Don’t wish for the picture on the wall, enhance it.
Make your own masterpiece that is from the heart and real,
What’s normal anyways? You decide how your life should feel.
Chose to feel happy, sad and everywhere in between,
because real life should be and deserves to be seen.


Love,
Julie
