Listening to every heart

Damp Dreams

You bring damp gray moments with you,
sometimes even streams that become swift oceans
when you come to remember me

as I delve into some plane’s dream world
while you change form and voice,
offering up some trick of hilarious situations
were I to share them; then serious moments
and sometimes instilling an immobility of heart
leaving me anxious at times;

Should I heed these dreams?

You come to me in thought-filled forms
of friend, father, mentor, lover, brother
and morph into whomever I might need
in any given moment of this,
my somewhat seemingly nightly fantasies
which come on with ever
more frequency.

And I believe in spirits

Tell me, why is it that these reveries
with the clearest of blue waters
are the ones that concern me most?

Have you ever seen water run uphill, along grass,
like small, wonderfully silvery splashing fish,
with no wind behind them and no reason to do so,
other than the waters are pooling out
of some unreasonable situation;
does one call this dream: conflict?

And when I am thus so conflicted

Is it really your arms, and your voice that I hear
when the words,
“I’ll catch you, come to me,”
echo
in my dreaming ear?

Sunshine,

I believe in dreams and those who visit me when I sleep.  This is wonderful and I keep coming back to read and just fall into your thoughts here.

Thank you,
Alison

..... dear sunshine .....
When ... Be honest words and letters

it turns into feelings and sentiments is

Put on the papers it is  not just words and letters

sometimes human unable to Praise anything

from strong it Magnificence

my pen unable to express it admiration for

your wonderful words.

I stand here and take off my hat and i applaud strongly.

thank you


my greetings

I love this, Karilea.  Dreams perhaps are the beginning, middle, and end of awakening.

I felt all those mixed emotions along with you every step of the dream - and was left somewhat shaken, and I feel as though I have aged in the reading - still haven't left the dream enough to extricate myself from it and see it in its entirety - but then that is exactly the effect, I believe, that you wanted to create, Karilea.  Most enjoyed.  I hope you have since gained the clarity you seek.

Sissie....I believe in dreams, especially your dreams, because I have reason to believe you dream from a place I can't get to myself.  It's a magic place that knows more than our dimension of time and space and it always tells the truth.  It is only from our waking state that we try to understand.  The dreamer always knows.

What a dreary world this would be without dreams, Karilea. You record them so well. Sweet Dreams.
