The NaPoWriMo Prompt: write a poem that involves an urgent journey and an important message. The WordPress Prompt: Karma Chameleon–let’s pretend that science has proven that karma is a thing. Your words and actions will influence what happens to you in the future. How (if at all) will you change your ways?

Dreams are the playground of the day.
It is time to take that avoided journey
that sends me out
in pursuit of myself,
then gives me morning
to come in free.

I’ve always wondered what it came from. I think it was originally “All ye, all ye, all in free!” and kids over the ages changed it into what they thought they heard…as kids will do. Adults, too, actually.

No kidding! Interesting history. It’s one of those games where you grow up never questioning the origin of a silly phrase.
