Dreamers
We are the dreamers of dreams, the spirits that soar at night
Those dreams offering versions of things yet to come
Reflecting on actions and deeds that were done
The dreams that lead forward to a personal light
One where ones spirit or soul takes free flight
/2
Those dreams of green fields and flowers anew
The melting of ice and the mountains that moved
The dreams of warm sunlight that nourishes life
The dreams of touch that sets all aright
The dreamers of dreams, the stories of old to new now unfold
/3
As old as the stars yet as young as the buds
The words seek expression and visions unfold
The dreamers of old meeting the dreamers of the now
Now dreaming or waking or in the between
Not knowing the difference between that which is seen
/4
Or that which is felt when science seeks answers to dreams not yet seen
The dreamers of dreams , as old as the stars as young as the buds of flowers to be
Not tied to convention or labels applied, soaring at night to yet unseen heights.

portions of the electorate must seriously cause the observer to ask " What role does government see for itself ?" Failing to be of beneficial service to the community as a whole , disengaging or again replacing service providers with profit driven models calls into question /4
Governments acting in our best interest awarding contracts to companies that then control every little thing that the governed do ? At what point in time does such non governance become a nonsense when enforcement is in the hands /2

When every essential service is sold to meet 'debts' that we are told must be met ?
When essential services remain essential but profit only shareholders who are not accountable and in law hidden 3/
by structures that ensure that there is no transparency ?
Should we aim to become shareholders in our own countries , where every new born is given a number of voting shares that cannot be tampered with ?
When every little act , every use of a utility 4/
Imagine
Imagine this is the last day
The last day before you go away and are no more
That the morning sun will rise again, its warmth denied to you
It matters not the cause of your demise, be it common or brave
It only matters that in some memory you stay, for a little 1/..
...while at least
Imagine this is the last day …….
What would you need to say to those to be left behind?
“I loved you but never found the time to tell you so! “
“I loved you more than words could express and now I am at a loss at what to say …. “
“I am sorry for not 3/..

“I wished I had listened more to your voice than impress myself with my own … “
“I loved to see your eyes sparkle in the light, the way your lips curled with your smile … “
So much left unsaid, ..4/..
