STEPS TO TAKE WHILE BUILDING A DREAM (2)


When we dream, we are able to fulfil all our thoughts, live out  all our  life expectations, achieve all our aims, and this is just within twenty minutes of sleep, why? It's because dream time is faster than earthly time, you think what you like and realise it, while in life you think of something and then work towards achieving it. 
So many are in the abstract reality of their dreams: they  live in the mirage of their aims and instead of waking up from slumber, they become the villagers  living in their own dreams,
some wait for their goals  to be fulfilled without taking a step, I must confess, they really dwell In their dreams,
some think of gaining all they've ever wanted in a tinkle of an eye, I must say, they are dreaming dreamers drowning in a dug dam in their dreamland.

In dreams, you experience things that are unreal, you can get rich without working, you can  travel from place to place without any disturbance or hindrance; no delayed flight, no throwing of punching curses on highways, but when you wake up to realise it was a dream, you either get depressed, be happy (that's if you were poor in yours) or otherwise, but those things are not real, they are imaginations, no matter how greatly you enjoyed the wealth you've acquired in the dream, you can never taste it, for it was only a dream and void of grasp. But there's an exception to the voidness of dreams ; it's waking up to realise them, this may take more time, yes, but there's no 'ctrl V and P to success, you have to work for it.
So many live in a false world, dreaming daily of cars and mansions, but they never build up courage to dig a hole in the soil for as little as a foundation; they are dreamers obsessed with mirages.

A dreamer is not one who sleeps to gain everything when he wakes, but he who works towards the achievement of  what he calls dreams without pampering his sleep.

Are you a dreamer?
Are you an achiever?
Yes?
No? ( it's up to you to decide)
Don't dream alone, achieve it.
Don't swim in a waterless ocean.  
Make sure you don't dream alone; achieve it.

God and The Snail: Poetry For Some One Lost Soul

Sometimes it feels Like all is done, That this life of ours Is caught in deadly thorns: From where we cry for help in a land Where to have ears is a great taboo! But in all these... we remember...

WHO DOES THIS BELONG TO? By MIDÉ BENEDICT

This is for those Who see life as an unfair land, Where growth is fairly found only On luck's fragile and ferocious tree: It is for those whose eyes only See reality as a coin Always tossed to uncertainty: For those who see misery As an inescapable ditch, Never to be seen when its mouth agars, Never to be escaped when its venom runs, But to be delivered like a slave for a ritual, Thrown like a cotyledon into dry soil, To germinate failure like a blocked well, Hoping to salvage a droughty throat. For those whose first name is lucky, Whose last name is uncertainty And middle name misery, Know that which you know not that The poison in your tongue is The wine your life drinks; It drinks on and on till stupor calls for death And stupidity dresses its grave Like a young man before a mirror, Staring unthinkingly at his face, Till he sees greyness in his eyes. This is for those who see eye to eye With the words on this slate. Image by Midé Benedict

TIED TO FREEDOM by Mide Benedict

Don’t hold me down L ike I’m in some cave Just like a bird flies Where nothing breathes light Through a hidden dark sky L ike an existence lost in inexistence, Locked up in a bottle     T hat only lives every day in an every minute coffin Tightened with an unbreakable cover.    Free me I said, but you brought me this! What freedom is more painful than   Eye balls without sights; faith without work like To walk on a spot;                    Mountains tied to your legs   While eyes go dark                    As you walk unmoving: In a place surrounded by light;            What a freedom!
