Well i Believe Po Is Saying Good Bye To Some One, Or Maybe Himself.. 
Or Maybe He's Reaching Salvation. 
Here He Says " Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now, " 
He's Saying Bye, ithink To Himself. 
Here He Says " Thus much let me avow-
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream " 
Here He Thinks Its All A Dream. 
" Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone? " 
Here He Says His Hope Is Gone. 
" And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand-
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep, " <--- There I Think He Is Counting All The Things He Has Done. 
" O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream? " <--- There He Is Questioning God... Asking Is His Past Was Maybe A Dream.. ?

Keeping It ' Real ' :)

iThought i'de Share What iWrote On Today's Journal Topic :) The Question Was : Last week we talked about how we see reality and distinguish it from dreaming. As you think about characters in stories and people you know, what gives you the sense that someone is real? Why do you think the phrase "keeping it real" became popular? What does the word "real" mean when we use it to describe how people act in their communication/relationships with others?

What iWrote In My Journal :
Well The Deffenition Of  ' Real ' Is ----> Actually Existing As A Thing Or Occuring As A Fact.
To Me Being Yourself Is Being Real. Also Being Real Does In Fact Come With Facts. And Basically Proof. Sometimes People Aren't Real They Create Themselves! Wich Is Insane! They Call Themselves " Hipsters " And " Gothics " And " Sk8ers " And Many More Im Sure. To Me Its Like Hiding, Or Wearing A Costume And Mask.. What Im Trying To Say Is Its Hard To Find Real When People Are Ashamed Of The ' REAL ' Them.
