Reality real, a clear sight.
One dreams with a boundless grace,
The other stands, in every place.

The other lives, across the land.

The other shows, every part.

The other reaches with steady hand.

Reality, where seeds of truth are sown.

In their balance, life renews.
Fiction and reality, tales unfold,
Mirror truths, both new and old.
