again, just a dream

`

 

 

Lost in the silence where dreams now awaken,

closing my eyes to the stress of the day

Feeling alone and a little forsaken,

wishful these moments that come into play

 

Wondering if it is imagination,

bringing these thoughts on this evening to me

Something to quell all this anticipation,

answers to questions my heart longs to see

 

Now as I fall off my mind it is reeling,

fading to gray now that slumber is due

Shadows and shimmers the scene now revealing,

fantasies breathe at the edge of the view

 

There is a field filled with beautiful flowers,

rainbows and butterflies scatter the air

As if I have some incredible powers,

here in this place that I'm longing to share

 

Evergreen trees line a path I am strolling,

squirrels and bluebirds at play looking on

Daffodil whispers cross hills now are rolling,

dewdrops like diamonds reflect on the lawn

 

Then as I see it, your smile does glisten,

warm like a summer breeze gently a'flow

Singing a song filled with love as I listen,

comfort becomes in the light of it's glow

 

You take my hand and my troubles start leaving,

soft as a feather this feeling of bliss

It is right now that my world is believing,

as you lean forward to give me a kiss

 

It's then I notice the dawning sun rising,

painting the sky as I open my eyes

Morning has come, though it is not surprising,

again just a dream, that I soon realize

 

It is the same every night as I'm sleeping,

almost those beautiful lips I might feel

Only to be left alone steady weeping,

finding each day is the only thing real

 

So as I sit here my weary heart breaking,

truth is my darkness however it seems

Another day in these moments I'm taking,

hoping again you appear in my dreams

I am reminded of someone very close to me, I lost so many years ago...but the thought and feel of her has stayed with me for the 36 years since it happened...this poem brought me a reflection of her. Thank you for that.
