“Dreambeast If you have a dream that won’t go away that gnaws at your toes with each waking day That sings beneath notes and swirls between stars From lines in great books it thrashes and gnarls From cinema screens it leaps along light and twists your insides and stalks you at night Then give it attention Tame that wild dream It’s there for a reason yet to be seen A beast of the future only you own Don't let it escape into the unknown Train it with care and boost its esteem Spotlight it brightly so it can be seen Or dreams can turn nasty tire and groan Diminishing creatures if left all alone The beast never dies just shrinks and goes cold A lone, solemn dream growing weary and old Fight the dream-bruisers wish-batterers too and splatterers of hope who'll be waiting for you Feel the roar rumble Hear every shout It’s your beast of a dream just dying to get out”
