We Dream By Day

In the dusty night, shadowed by moon
men dream and forget their dreams
transient, filing thoughts,
cleaning the brain for another day.

Such is life, to keep us sane, dreams cleanse
we are renewed, by night, in slumber
unseen, except by moon and stars
or a lover, gazing in tenderness.

Dangerous are we who dream by day
we ignite change, dissatisfied by what is
seeing a better way, making peace
inventions, setting minds on fire.

From a quote by T.E. Lawrence
