MY DREAM!

The clock is slowly ticking, as you wonder when the hour shall come, the clock strikes midnight, as your eyes widen with anxiety all you can think of is your beloved puppy dog “Pepito”.

 “Tick”….As the sun begins to rise; awaking to embrace the warmth, of the electric current emitted by the appearing sunlight is priceless when you are viewing this beauty with someone you hold close to your heart.

 “Tock”….Your hands are grasped together as if in a motionless beat of time, you wonder when shall the clock strict no more, when will this be over, all this beauty and love for “Pepito”.

 You swiftly turn and gaze into Pepito’s eyes and are lost to his preciousness and sensitivity. All you can think about is of this moment lasting forever.

 The next day at precisely 16.30 you race home from school anxious to find your one and only “Pepito”, his baby brown eyes spot your presence and his body begins to accelerate in your direction. You slightly bend over to capture his excitement in your arms. His tail is waving around uncontrollably as you place him back on his feet.    

 Before you know it, time has captured your eyes, as night falls darkening the sky above and dispersing bright sparkling stars.

 You wish upon these stars to make your life remain as it is forever!

 Living life through my eyes is a dream, a dream full of fantasy and realism. A dream yet to be fulfilled as the normal routine of life continues. Continues to a point in time where insecure barriers are broken making my dream a reality.

 A dream I consider my fantasy dream is living life along side my faithful, one and only dog Pepito as he right now is the air I breathe and the one that completes my life. Being brought up with a special little creation of life makes you see life through all sorts of perspectives. Perspectives only viewed when the love embraced between you and your companion is sacred and infinite. Infinite to a point in time where life ceases to exist through your eyes, discarding and ignoring everything except for your pet.

 For some people this dream seems impossible to comprehend but that’s what makes us unique as dreamers.

I dream of a world where all living animals are treated equally. No matter if their brain capacity is supposing smaller than ours, we are all the same. This fact does not give us any right to treat animals like scavenging bugs. They do have feelings and they do feel pain, just like any human they yearn to live life and endure all the beauty of nature. 

 Just imagine viewing life through the eyes of a test subject, being a caged abused dog, feeling the pain reaching to your bones as your bruising muscles can hardly hold your slim weighted body up on your four feet. Waking to experience another day of torture, pain and suffering is not the ideal life you would want to live.

 That’s why one of my dreams is to change the mentality of those people that consider themselves as being so great and superior to animals. Thinking this about an animal should be restricted and enforced by an honourable law order. A law possibly capable of reducing the number of cases on animal cruelty.

 Every time I look into “Pepito’s” eyes it makes me think about the life of the animals that aren’t so lucky to be living in the same conditions as him. It makes me wonder if they would one day obtain freedom and experience life like they should and desire. I long to see this dream become reality.

 I dream of a realistic dream, my career dream, which I know deep down in my heart will one day become reality, becoming a Graphic Designer. All my life I have had a passion to succeed in Art and Computers. Absorbing the fact that one day this dream will become a reality seems too farfetched as I wonder what the future holds in its secretary cast of invisibility, beneath its radiant crust. A crust so deep that reaching the earth’s core seems far from impossible.  

Impossible as it seems time is running out, as the aging process overwhelms us and takes away or slowly disintegrates our health. As much as time lasts, it is never going to be enough as us humans will continue dreaming but will we actually conquer what our mind and heart yearns for so badly? Is our wilingful power and strength going to get us to our desired destination before we cease to exist? Or will time clasp hold of our future?

 As I continually wonder what the future holds, I know that my fantasy and realistic dreams will always be intact to my world. A world full of beauty and surrounded by nature’s most divined aspirations known to man-kind.

 A world loaded with continuous dreams, dreams remaining not only in our sub-conscious mind but in our hearts also.

 Remaining in my heart is a spiritual dream; “I have a dream” of spending eternity with  my dog Pepito.

 “I have a dream” of becoming a successful graphic designer, encountering the happiness and peace a realist dream acquires.

 “I have a dream” of making my voice overstand power and unite us with regards to the mis-treatment of animals.

 Having a dream in short terms is having an idea, but what foresees the idea is what you make possible. Possible to an extent where your dream becomes a reality. Virtually, reality is what makes your dreams possible, but will your reality ever exist?

 Personally answering this question seems like foreseeing into the future and escaping through to boundaries of new terrains. When the answer to this question is a simple as the gentle breeze tickling on your soft reddened checks. An answer as simple and self-explanatory as “yes”.
