in the half-mournin' of dark
I go to my illusion
waking to near longing
for the collapse of my getaway
I shan't
bury my dreams
and my secret plans
they'll turn out to be
my thoughts evermore
and down them I'll drift
in the light of my dreams
all of my wishes
for me to see
even in their pretend
again and again
it all means to me
my dreams
need not be pretty
for them to come true
for I know a secret
it's for sure that I do
and its all about dreams
and not letting go
but dreams can be a river
pulling you beneath its flow
oh stop! I fear the secret
will make my deep down low

Hmmm...deep down low...
sounds like the dream-mare I had last night...not exactly a nightmare, but certainly not a dream I would want to find in real life...

Good reading, this. Thank you!

Yep, I have those dreams these days more often than not, Karilea. Like you say they are not exactly nightmares, but more of an . . . er . . . unsettling dream. Thank you for stopping by.

Nice writing JP~ Not sure what your secret is and I am hoping you don't get pulled down or carried away....  but not letting go of our dreams, (the good ones anyway) are part of the magic that sets our hearts free.

Well, there you go again...
Excellent write per usual.
Secret, scary, sad, silly, fuzzy,
doesn't matter to me, dreaming is the
best part of sleeping.

Enjoyed, Jerry!

My secret dream, Blues, is tantamount to staring back at yourself and not quite understanding all that you see3.

Appreciate your presence here in my world, thank you . . .

Hi, JL, and there you go again, saying nice things about my efforts to communicate, and you are correct, I take it to the limits of scary, sad, silly and fuzzy. Thank you for being here.
