Dreamer’s Nightmare
written by: Glen McKenzie
@justabitfurther
a nightmare lived
inside an illusion
the horror of
unfinished desires
forgotten and discarded
torment of unfulfilled
desires tossed aside
colliding with reality
the fantasy is real
the nightmare exists
unlived desires
forgotten dreams
floating ever away
slowly dying silently
a terminal diagnosis
the nightmare where
dreams die; living dies
a dangled carrot
for us to choose
dreams colliding
with reality
nightmares of seismic terror
where dreams aren’t
dreams anymore

A +50-year-old(although very young at heart) hiker; canoe tripper; adventurer and outdoor enthusiast who enjoys craft beer.
Hiking, canoe tripping as well as other outdoor adventure activities, can be seen as a metaphor for living. Both are journey’s filled with scores of good and not so good steps. Highs and lows; successes and failures.
Over the years, have realized that spending time in the outdoors pursuing whatever type of outdoor activity you choose opens up a wonderful and life-changing array of lessons on living and ourselves if, we are willing to stop, observe and listen.
