SYNERGY
By hebe

I sincerely hope that Descartes will not be offended. 

                                       We dream;
                                       Therefore, We are.

                                       We are;
                                       Therefore, We dream.

                                       Dreamers and Dreams
                                       Depend upon All
                                       For being.

                                       Dreams become more
                                       Than the Dreamers,
                                       Who gave them form.

                                        Inescapable,
                                        Inseparable,
                                        Unfathomable.

                                        Hope eternal,
                                        Dream on!

Sorry, hebe. I don't follow the logic of this one. I understand the original, but the leap in logic here defies me. Could, of course, just be my lack of imagination.

Think beyond Descartes to C. G. Jung and Martin Luther King.

I left Jung on a train to Lincoln many years ago. Had to pay a fortune at the library for a new hardback copy. 
 
See, it was lack of imagination. The MLK example really fits this well. The penny drops. Apologies for my initial denseness! 
 
I quite like it, though the third and fourth are lacking a little something for me - perhaps the rhythm that the rest has.

The fourth stanza flows better without "synergism." Since "Synergism" is the title, I don't need to wave a sign at the end.
