Stepping into the realm of reality...
   blinded by what seems a lifetime of fantasy...
      he ventures forth.

All words...
   actions...
      and touch...
         are taken in with uncertainty

Then suddenly...
   silently from within he screams...
      take my hand...
         touch my heart.

Realization has been made...
   that dreams of the past...
      must be replaced by scenes of reality.

He glances over his shoulder...
   images beckon him to return.

Filled with fear...
   but knowing what must be done...
      he walks away.

A thought engulfs him...
   that no being...
      not even here in reality...
         lives without fantasy.

Yea...
   fantasies help man choose his path through reality...
      but a being that does not know its fantasies at sight
         is indeed lost in the domain of confusion.
