The day the dreamer woke up

is not a sad tale for all.

For some out there,

it’s part of life’s call.

 

The day the dreamer woke up

the sky was no longer vibrant blue

but rather settled

into its paler hue.

 

The day the dreamer woke up

she wondered about the do-gooder’s motive

because surely he

must be getting more than he did give.

 

The day the dreamer woke up

she lost her trust somewhere

and filled that space

with doubt and fear piled high in there.

 

The day the dreamer woke up

her imagination faded away.

Just how it is

is how she saw the day.

 

The day the dreamer woke up

things actually got done.

No more waiting

for another sun.

 

The day the dreamer woke up

may sound sad to some of you.

But for others

it’s a major life break through.
