A Dream Exists

A dream that has not yet been kissed
Remains unseen, but does exist
In visions that are undefined
Imbedded in a dreamers mind

It lives as sure as dawning light
Erases moons and stars of night
Forgotten in the daytime sun
Remaining on the path they’ve spun

Just as a tulip bulb will rest
Beneath the snow in winter’s nest
As warmth of sun and springtime mist
Give life, so does a dream exist

The flower lives and worries not
Which season is, if cold or hot
To stars that fly the Milky Way
The day is night and night is day

A dream is visible and clear
Though not to eye or hand or ear
It lives within the heart and mind
As sure as rambling roses twine

Just as the breeze remains unseen
As barren trees will turn to green  
As stars will disappear at dawn
As fairies sprint across the lawn

Elizabeth, where would we be without our dreams? Lovely write.

Wonderfully written, enjoyed, indeed where would we be without our dreams!

Throw your heart out in front of you
And run out to catch it.

Oh you know I loved this one right?  What better comparison of a dreaming waiting than a bulb waiting to flower, oh, you just have a way of making me smile!

If you have but one true friend when you die you were truly blessed

This was pretty..
funny.. the dreams erase the moon and the stars, but then the new day and the sun erase the dream
