The dream

a poem for when you wake up and realize it was just a dream

There is a dream I search for

At once awoke and forgotten

Only a whisper of what it used to be

Should I let it go

Should I move on?

I can’t

It moves me. Brings me closer

To all that I wanted in life

If only I could remember

That sweet alluring dream

Just beyond my reach.

Captivated by its memory

Of feeling, of joy, and of peace

I sigh in regret

To let something so pure

And so breathtaking get away

It is a loss and a punishment in the same

You are a poet of compasions, contrasts, and opposites. It's a style that is very endearing to me.
