The beginning
Of conscience
is the ending of dreams.
Aren't dreams the substance
Which reality is made of?
Rather, we breathe in brilliant
Colors we have never dreamed.
What does it mean to dream?

The Letter D is upon you
 More fun questions!! ^.^Hope you enjoy. On to E! Comments
 I might change the last line to
What does it mean, to dream? It seems like it would flow better than a conjunction. Otherwise, I like it! -- I'm LOVED. Not just liked- passionately, ardently, ADORED with wild, reckless, selfless abandon. Jesus is so crazy about me that it overwhelms me every time I think about it. And believe me, His Love makes all the difference in the world.  My favorite so far~! Though I think ~DaughterofZion brings up a kind of good point, the contraction doesn't flow as well...
Looking forward to the next one, but this is wonderful~! I'm a dreamer, though, so of course i'd love it. ^^ -- All waiters are just seagulls in human form. - ~Murasaki-Usagi 雨 + 夜 = 霧 =  Hidden by Owner ^.^
But it's not a contraction. "What does it mean, to dream?" doesn't make sense. I could reword it to be "What does it mean to perform the action of dreaming?" but that sounds clunky, and has the same problem you are describing. There is a natural pause between mean and to, but we don't actually transcribe that with a comma. At least, not in literary English papers (as I am told my my professor a lot because I over use the comma) -- *TheWritersMeow A birthday is just a day, you say. But it's a special day. It's the day you first changed the world. I think "What does it mean, to dream" makes sense... I mean, it's the same thing as "what's it mean" I get the pause, but I think it would still work either way... I dunno, I guess I just see things differently.
-- All waiters are just seagulls in human form. - ~Murasaki-Usagi 雨 + 夜 = 霧 = Maybe. But either way, I don't like the comma there, since "to dream" is the subject of the question.
What does it mean, to dream? to me means you're asking the question "What's it mean?" where it is not defined... What I wrote can be re-written as "What does dreaming mean?" But I like the other form better. -- *TheWritersMeow A birthday is just a day, you say. But it's a special day. It's the day you first changed the world. To me it sounds like they're asking the same question, which is also "what does dreaming mean?" so I got your meaning. I guess I just think it works and - to me - means the same thing written both ways... I dunno.
-- All waiters are just seagulls in human form. - ~Murasaki-Usagi 雨 + 夜 = 霧 = It means the same thing, but I think that adding the comma makes it awkward.
And I wrote it, so the comma is not being added. Thanks for the input though The comma seems to add more pause to where there already is a natural pause. Commas are meant to represent the break in idea, not in where we take a breath. -- *TheWritersMeow A birthday is just a day, you say. But it's a special day. It's the day you first changed the world. Oh, I didn't think you should add the comma, I just thought you should have it "what does" and not "what's" X3 But yes, it is your poem.

We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on.
