A weird story just unfolded in front of my eyes although it was neither strange nor happening before my eyes. It was a dream however nearly lucid, I was aware it was a dream; it was impossible for it not to be. It was full of adventures that I had never wanted to venture on. It flipped from here to there and faded with the interruption of a non-dream voice. It was going somewhere, things were being figured out, it made sense in a way that only a dream you are in complete control of can. I awoke overheated and saddened, compelled to write about a subject forever lost. The dream is over and today is back, yet it is different now. It mattered, meant something and now it is time to move on. Today is the end of an era.; everyday, minute, moment is the end of an era however today is more so. When these lids come to their final resting place this evening and open again in the morrow the lazy days, the skipping showers, the unshaven afternoons, the naps, snoozes and putting things off, the summer mentality will be no more. Tomorrow is full of limitless potential and easy breezy is over-due August afternoons will have come to an end.
Tomorrow, and tomorrow comes again and where we go may never seem to end, the endless nature of our lives can lull, overwhelm and STOP us in our tracks until we are not even moving. The world is spinning, other lives are zooming through, in and out of our reality and yet we stay stagnated in a moments thought. They have ebbed and flowed, came and went, and every so often a claim is made, a promise, pledge and wishful thinking makes us believe that it may just happen. Good people, good intentions, good goals will guide us. And we wait... we embrace the waiting, the next to come is grand and worth the patience, worth the saving, the pinching the skimping. This I have done, and done before, what makes this time different; I do.
Today I changed--tomorrow I prove it.
