Of Dreamers and Realists

“

There are dreamers and there are realists in this world.

You’d think the dreamers would find the dreamers and the realists would find the realists but more often than not, the opposite is true.

You see the dreamers need the realists to keep them from soaring too close to the sun.

And the realists… well, without the dreamers, they might not ever get off the ground.

I am a dreamer.
I dream of the world being one happy place.
I wish the newspapers that the world reads every morning carried news of joy instead of misery, of love instead of hatred, of birds and bees, and happy things.
I wish work was done, not for money, for the love of it instead.
I wish we lived in a world where everyone were equal.
I wish mans' worst enemy wasn't man himself.
I wish people weren't after money. I wish people weren't after power. 
On second thought I wish people had no idea what power meant. They'd be happier then. More free.
I wish people just wanted to live the one life they got, with the people they love, with the idea of just being in the present and enjoying time spent with other fellow human beings.
I wish life was one big party.


I dream of fireflies, of a life where I'm surrounded by mountains, and in no hurry to get in touch with the world outside. 

I feel everyones always running. Running to meet appointments, running to be somewhere important. To meet people, to keep moving. People seem to need to be in constant movement. I do too. What happens when we just stop, and be in that moment, in all of our existence, oblivious to the flow of bodies around us?
I dream of a day, when I live just to be. Where i have no where I have to be, I am where I want to be. 

I dream of a time, when people believe in magic. Where people believe in the impossible. Where there isn't space for doubt, for insecurity, for jealousy.

I dream of a day, we all go back to being naive, to believing everything we imagine. Wouldn't it be wonderful to believe that you can fly and not doubt it for even a second. 

I am a dreamer.
I believe there will be a time, when things will turn around. 
They will, I'm sure of it. Without a single flicker of doubt. :)

Until then I'm going to continue dreaming.
