Of The Night
~*Marge Tindal*~

Dreams are not
just phantoms of
the night
They are the wishes
within the soul
of daylight visions
With waking thought
I yearn for you
The eagerness of the night
dreams you into being

Well ... you have just made this lady smile for the whole day.
I'm so glad to see that you like DOGS and not boys !  Even though they are pretty much the same ... 'cept that dogs sit when you tell them to sit !  
How's about another loving picture for you?
Okay ....  

Love ya'

Tell Marge I love this! I love dreaming too! So to me a poem about a dream has to be pretty special! Tell Marge thanks for sharing this gem.

Dear,
  I agree totally!   I am sorry I have been away for the last few days.  I was out sick.  You know how the hot/cold weather affects your sinuses.  But I am back now, and I know I have a few days worth of catching up to do!    

Love ya~

Marge,
     I am a friend of TerryW's.  He told me about passions, and told me I should check it out.  He also said that I had to read a few special people's work, and yours was at the top of the list.  I can see why.   He was right.  You are great!

Yep, those dreams are for everyone.

Alwye~
I'm so pleased that you enjoyed it.

Balladeer~
Thank you, sweetie.
Roy and I would just have to agree
on the 'thoughts', too.

Serenity~
What a doll you are.
This lady greatly appreciates you.

Martie~
Sometimes I wonder if I 'dream' while
I'm awake ... as I seem to spend more
time in that mode.  Thanks, gal.

TerryW~
Hello, love.  You were missed.
Thanks ... and GOOD to see your smiling face.

Tears~
Awwwwww !  Is he just the greatest, or what?
Thank you, Rickey.  Enjoy your stay with us.
Love to all~

Wasn't it Tennyson who wrote, "To Sleep I give my powers away."?

In dream, we allow ourselves to fully live, I think, unrestrained, unrestricted, unchecked. So very real, they can be. So lovely, this gifting, Marge, and I thank you.

I loved this poem. Makes you think do you dream what you want? Sometimes subconciously I believe we do. Thanks for the inspiration and enjoyed it so.

Marge, this is simple truth, I've often thought that about dreams, but on a sanity level I thought that maybe the brain was just trying to deal with all the images so our heads wont expload. But I like the first idea much nicer.

Thank you.  Well, your reasoning would give credence to the saying, 'A dream is a wish your heart makes ... when you're fast asleep.'

Parker~
SMILES !  
I'm sure that our dreams serve a very real purpose ... never quite thought of them as 'defusing' our heads !  Could be.
Love to all
