"Brief moments with no content "
I supose that should have read "Brief moments without content " as it was referring to the emptiness of a daydream . Sorry for the ambiguity but I liked your response anyway

I am not in a daydream
So rest easy
I only speak of fantasy
But then fantasy is an ambition
To reach another world
And stay there
Until reality sets in
Which brings me back to normality
What circles we live in

They say the purpose of
narrative is to present us
with ambiguity, that we
might in turn be open to it,
to take advantage of it, to
look ambiguity square in the
eye so as to ponder the many
other forms of its interpretations.
As it is better understood, we
learn to recognize it as being
quite distinct from vagueness.

It is within the magnificent
realms of fantasy where we
can make a complete break.
Ones imagination can confront
the infinite mind of inspiration
and creativity which allows for
the bending and reshaping of
the make-believe world and its
multi-faceted dimensions, and
along the way we recognize
and in turn appreciate that
the canvas of fantasy can be
stretched as wide and as high
as the mind that paints upon it.

I am not ambiguous
So rest easy
I only speak of the truth
But then truth is an ambition
To reach probity
And stay there
Until dishonesty sets in
Which brings me back to the truth
What daydreams we live in

They say that everything negative - pressure, challenges, thoughts, etc.,
are really camouflaged opportunities for us to rise above it all. A clear
understanding of negative emotions in most cases, dismisses them.

Each thought and each thing is of
like form from everlasting and comes
round again in its cycle of constant
rhythmic return, as it breathes backwards,
forwards, back again and away, it is
sometimes asked as to how we should
approach it all and to what end – in terms
of exploring its form, cozying up as we do
to the comfort found in the stability of things.
