Escapism

When you compare the sorrows of real life's demand, To the pleasures of the world you create by your hand, You may find a refuge where your heart takes flight, In the boundless realm of dreams, both day and night. In this ethereal haven, your spirit's set free, A place where joy knows no boundary or decree. For in your mind's eye, a tapestry unfurls, Painted with colors of dreams, like precious pearls. The pain of existence, it may try to confine, But in dreams, your soul finds a lifeline. To live in the world of the imagination's gleam, Is to chase endless possibilities, like a dream. In dreams, you're the author, the master, the king, In reality's grasp, you may falter and cling. So, let your aspirations forever take flight, In the reverie of dreams, your heart's true delight. For when the two worlds entwine and they seam, You'll discover the balance, the beauty, the dream. To live in both realms, a dance to endeavor, Where real life and dreams can be cherished forever.
