All you vain dreams
As short as a mid summer night
Swift; fleeting; lonely
Bestowing me with nothing but melancholy.
Fierce as a loving woman’s anger
Sweet as the kiss of a passionate lover
A bell at dawn; a parting groan-
If only I’d be wise enough to see beyond it.

the ignorant and the lazy ESP says its more comforting to not see beyond and finding the reality to be as vain, ignore the bell and go back to the dreams
