To Feast On Dreams
Virginia Salter

Today I feast on dreams
as succulent as raspberries of a June morn,
as warm as hot chocolate in mid-winter’s play
as comforting as Grandma’s quilt warmed by the fire
as soothing as her gentle hand stroking away a tear
as exciting as the promise of a pet of one’s  own
as heart-fluttering as love’s very first kiss
as soft to the ears as baby’s coo
as sweet as lilac’s ambrosia
as lovely as Mountain mirrored in the lake
dotted with birds a-wing and cumulus threads glistening
with sun’s refracted rays to feathery rainbow boas

Scoffers may say, you are such a dreamer,
pick up your bed and walk
close your pad and place your pen in its sheath
stop your dreaming, begin life, labor, do your share. . .
but without dreams,
there would still be caves and someone scratching two sticks of wood together
just to hear their sound, nothing more

well done poetess  

I'm going crazy, I'm losing sleep.
I'm in too far, I'm in way too deep over you.
You'll always be the one.
You were the first, you'll be the last.
