We All Have Dreams



We all have dreams don’t we? Shouldn’t we?
It’s our dreams that give us hope and clarity
Somewhere in his dream the coward is brave
He rides out determined his honour to save
The poor man dreams of having some real hope
Wishing that he had enough money to cope
The dancer dreams her feet will take her far
The romantic dreams of wishing on a star

We all have dreams each of us has one or two
Let me whisper tonight my dreams to you
I dream that the world will live in total peace
That all wars will end and battles will cease
That the hungry and the famished will be fed
That fear won’t stalk a soul until it’s dead
I dream that love will spread across our land
Enemies will walk together hand in hand

We all have dreams come tell me what about you?
What do you dream of when the day is all through
Are the visions that fill your head at night?
Filled with wonder and star shimmering light
Do you yearn for a body pressed close to you?
Wish to hold it to you the whole night through
Your dreams are star wishes they may come true
If you believe in dreams the way that I do

Marsha

Marsha, this poem is so very beautiful. It is one of you very, very best!

And yes, we all have dreams. And we should dream. For dreams are our blueprints. And with blueprints we can plan, build and enjoy better things. With our blueprints we can relax from stress at night and relish the love in our lives. With our dreams we can mature like fine wine and let others sip our wisdom and richness of spirit. With our dreams we can write beautiful poetry sharing with others the beauty in our souls. Like you do so well in this beautiful poetic jewel.

Marsha this is an outstanding poem. One you should be very proud of. I am so very proud that the very talented poet of this lovely piece is a good friend of mine whom I dearly love. May God's love and peace always flood your soul.

Yes, Marsha, like you say, "We all have dreams".

Marsha are you saying you are old, for only to those who lived take the dreams and make them real in the way you have doen.
Oh love this is such a powerfully strong write. I wish for you that all your dreams will come true.
Heartsister.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

I disagree with Kethry in that you are not very old, but rather hold the heart of a child in a wise mind, for to dream is to continue with hope, which lifts us up from the dreary, and refreshes all that's weary...

and your brevity is suiting you!

I believe in dreams Marsha and I do hope that this one comes true. Humanity can use these types of dreams. A lovely poem, my dear Poetess Marsha. floria

Marsha - You write like a dream.  I share your sentiment in this write, that one day this world will find true peace.  

Now, my only dream is that you come to NY and share a spot of tea with me before the winter is through.  I can't keep it hot too much longer .

Kari darling sister of my heart and keeper of truth’s lamp, thank you darling of course I’m not old in the sense of skill and ability. And while I have an infinitely wiser and older sister to guide me I shan’t be lost to beauty either.  Thank you for the gift of you.

Step through the
barrier of my mind,

feel my desire,
let my eyes guide you
into the shadows
