Emotions inside me, I can't express
when watching dreamers show tenderness.
And dreams of people passing

While watching and waiting, I sense for a while
dreams growing within them, making them smile.
The dreams of people passing.

The girl with blue hair, has ethereal dreams to share
Her breath spreads out dreams in the cold misty air.
her dreams of people passing.

You give me a coin, I give you a smile
In catching your dreams. I do it with style.
Those dreams of people passing.

The man in the suit, whom I deem to be cute
Has dreams that are sharp, vivid, astute
His dreams of people passing.

So I sit and I wait both early and late
Collect dreams and gladly collate
The dreams of people passing.

Nobody notices me standing here
What wonders, what passion, what beauty draws near
In dreams of people passing.

When day is over you've all gone home
I sit in the darkness and, warmed, all alone
by dreams of people's passing.

oh this is great!
we all do people watching...but you took it just that little step further...taking dreams from these passing strangers..
very very well done!

whatcha doing in this darkness baby
when you know love will set you free?
will you stay in the sea forever
Drowning there for all eternity? ~Live

Wonderful visions your eyes have and I thank you for sharing them with us all.  I think we all like to people watch in ways of our own and you have shown the beauty of your soul in what you see.  Well written.

Kethry,

This has an ethereal voyeurism to it that captures the mind. Transient dreams caught by your watchful eye. A beautiful poem that was a delight to read.
