I Can Dream
by Michael Robins

                             I can dream
                            And so can you.
                             As children                                       
                             We all knew
                      This was absolutely true


                             We visited new worlds and possibilities
                             With ease, 
                             and were more readily and easily
                             pleased 
                                                                                    
                              What happened to
                      The dreamer, the magical child?
                              Where did she go?
                      Did she get filed away in a musty file?
                          The one who knows the way to the                
                              Paradise isle?
                           Or did you lose her
                            On your way to work
                              And perhaps yourself also 
                              In the daily grind?


                             Well, gentle reader, let me remind
                               You that she is alive and well, 
                               Although, at times, she dreams            
                                  She’s visiting Hell 
                             She still has wonderful secrets she
                                  Wants to tell
                                About your possibilities
                             That are far greater than you think


                                                                                     
                               But to resurrect her potencies   
                               And re-stimulate her capacities
                            You’ll have to thaw any mental freeze
                             And abandon stinking thinking, who
                            Perhaps, on some levels, has become your         
                           Unconscious friend, the one that speaks in
                                Your head and you routinely 
                           Listen to without consideration or thought,
                           Completely unaware we are thereby 
                           Caught in lives of limitation and routine
                               Forgetting our power to enjoy and 
                                      Manifest our dreams


                           This is a living message of possibility
                            The world is far more magical than it 
                                 Seems to be
                              and is designed to express
                             whatever upon her you impress
                                But originally,
                              the expresion of
                              Your unique divinity
                             was the intention, primary
                           But perhaps you’re wearing glasses
                              You put on a long time ago
                             And forgot that you did and don’t
                                   Remember and know 
                               That you’re totally free
                                To change the glasses
                                      And be
                                Whomever you want to be
                            And have whatever you want to have
                                        Truly!
                             Have you forgotten the dreamer’s
                                 Certainty and ability?



                             Are these just words to you
                                  Or is this true?
                            And If what I say is really so
                           Then are you ready to dare to know
                              The you that you don’t know
                                But could know and be?
                                The one with certainty
                                About your ability to be 
                                Whomever you want to be
                           Are you ready for a greater reality?
                              And can you think of any 
                                   Reason not to be?
