how things will have changed
the way we see things now
is but a distant memory
the rivers
the lands
and the seas
[as you know
not all things appear
as they seem]
think of the dream
the one dream
unchanged over a lifetime
the rivers
and the lands
and the seas
exactly
where they’ve always been
by the time you awaken
all of it has been put back into place
and you imagine starting over
is a distinct possibility
