Dream Weaver’s Lost Lovers Another night has come where Star can lose herself within her dreams and pretend the pain never was from love she lost somewhere in time He sits gazing into a fire that flickers with her memories and closes his eyes on a dream trembling at the edge of his mind Shutting her eyes she sighs as blocking out the present world for a place she can drift alone and not feel the heartache inside With a deep groan of loneliness he feels the soft warmth of the fire embrace him as darkness descends claiming right to hide memories Dream Weaver feels the painful beating hearts of two who from fear of hurt stay apart afraid to try again in this hard world where true love is rarely reality As the vision forms she knows what she’ll do to bring fantasy and magic alive in hearts that despair but deserve a chance to weave magic of love within their souls She draws on the power of her calling touching gently two sets of eyes in sleep and wakes them both to a dreamer’s journey to a world created for lost lovers Star opens her eyes with a gasp and finds herself standing alone inside a meadow at spring time underneath stars and full moon In the meadow is a dragon reflecting golden in the light which awaits her patiently to climb aboard it’s saddled back Without fear or hesitation she settles down with perfect ease and glories to feel the freedom of soaring through the star filled sky He opens his eyes to wonder at the sight of a great dragon standing in the trees who is black reflecting silver from starlight Feeling courage flow in his veins he settles on this mystic steed accepting without any thought that a great adventure awaits Each soaring high above the earth to softly land on moonlit beach and see each others silhouette upon this distant island sand Drawn into each others embrace they gaze into the eyes of love once thought lost to them for all time now returned by a dream‘s magic Upon sun warmed sands they unite while making their bodies glow bright passion’s reflected in the sky from a large comet that streaks by Dream Weaver smiles one of her secret smiles as she watches the Lost Lovers unseen knowing that when from this dream they both wake they’ll have the will to make this vision true Karen Torbiak 2002 © Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

This is enchantingly lovely Karen. What a beauty to post for your 4,000. That’s a lot of great poetry, and a lot of wonderful responses. Your responses are some of the most thoughtful I’ve seen. When I respond to a poem after you, I always want to write “yeah, what Karen said”!! If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |

a great poem for your 4,000th. There is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar. |

Goodness Karen, I give you a standing ovation, dear! I couldn't even dream of hitting 4000 in the next year, so busy with other things, I don't get a chance to come and read much. You certainly have dedication and spunk! PS-the poem was an awesome one for the 4000th. |
