Facts Are Less Reliable than Dreams

April 1, 2019

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week, ironically for April Fool’s Day, is truth.

I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com .

A philosophical number poem about facts, dreams, and truths:

Facts are less reliable than dreams,
On which one’s future happiness depends.
Unless the moon of one’s ambitions gleams,
Reason will homogenize one’s ends.
There is no fact that goes beyond the fact,
Embracing all the bliss of what might be.
Each dream creates a truth the truth may lack,
Now sailing with the wind far out to sea!
