Sweet Dreams




Sweet dreams,
come to me
as soon as
my head lies
upon my silken
pillow.
I wish to escape
the sharp edges
of my day.
                                       
Transport me
in your veil
to fantasy’s shore.
Let my mind
be freed from
a world that
plays tug of war
with my emotions,
drawing me one moment
into sublimity, the next
pulling me into
the abyss .

I wish to play
In the sand
of imagination,
walk its beaches
sparkling with enchantment,
hear the sea
sing its siren’s song
to my heart.

Dreams, I have
had too much reality
in this long day.
I await your visitation.
Please come quickly.

Ah, those dreams. I wish them to come true for you - but don't leave your head in the sand for too long! Life IS for living.

This is very beautiful, with the lilting cadence of a lullaby and a mood of serenity.

Love this, Susan Speaks to my current frame of mind. Personification of dreams is a powerful tool that draws the reader in. Thanks for sharing.

Into the world of serenity, but How long can those stay? have to wake up in reality.

Nevertheless...Somethings come true only in dreams, Sweet Dreams :)
