Upon my pillow fast asleep,
Drifting in and out of dreams.
Disconnected thoughts go through
So many different scenes.

A childhood memory I can see
As I walk into the room.
I feel the warmth of its grasp,
But it vanished all too soon.

Floating in the shadows
I see you standing there.
But when I reach to hold you,
You fade into the air.

Then visions of my loved ones
Who are gathered all around,
To share in love and laughter
Is a satisfying sound.

And off into the distance
A stranger I do see.
Is it someone I will meet?
Will he be a friend to me?

No rhyme or reason for these scenes.
Throughout the night they just come and go.
Is there a meaning to all of this?
I sure would like to know.

Eloise~
A fascinating look at your dreams.
There is an answer to be found -
may you recognize it when it comes.

Eloise....

     at it's best when you are dreaming....

I loved these lines. Aren't we always grasping at memories? I know I am. If you find the answer, let me know....
