Being in the Way

One Eye Open
Do we dream with one eye open?
Or live with one eye shut?
Dare we risk to dream of what might be?
While we cling to what we think is?
To truly dream,
Is to abandon the rock of reason;
And allow that the impossible…
Is not.
And,
If, perchance we might awaken,
Are we afraid of what we see?
Do we cling to the delusions
We created?
And in that comfort,
Do we then dream tepid dreams?
And let them go
As fancies of the night?
And when we live in daylight,
Is it really light?
Or are we really half asleep
Afraid to truly wake.

About the Book
Author Chris Dewey tends to think that we find resonance in life with ideas, rather than the form of a thing. Don’t think of this book as a book of poems; instead, think of it as a book of ideas. Ideas come from asking elegant questions in a search for truth and from continuing the process so long as we breathe.
Breathe with these words, ask some questions, look for ideas, and search for your own truth.
