Just a Dream




Call it ambition, a dream, or what you will
When first a desire is fully instilled,
It may be a sport, or art, or poetry
It may be a camera, capturing "Oh, Look, See!"

It comes to my mind, I’m a lot like you
To own a desire, to follow it through
Not to show off, but merely to share
To leave some semblance of concern and care

To cast a shadow in dawn’s first light
Then gather vestiges by soft twilight
To mix colors and moods as if by song
To leave behind senses of "see, we belonged"

It’s just a dream, some quiet thoughts
Hardly a talent, but all we’ve got
So we contemplate on a picture or two
And wrap it in poetry, just for you

For I would give you a dream to live
In softest light, where shadows forgive
Where all things possible may be found
And come together, on a common ground

It’s just a dream that I would share with you
A little bit of art, and poetry, too…

Preceding every action, there has always been a dream first. To act without a dream is instinct. To dream without an act is wool-gathering. To dream and then act upon it....now that is life!

(sigh) Oh Karilea, it may just seem like a dream at first every time you write ba lovely poem like always, but it is never a still frame so if we can see it all before our eyes, you know such a vision is true and it can always come true when we cherish it! (smiles) This is wonderful and captivating, sweet friend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Karilea, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

My my isn't this a delicate little piece!

                    "It’s just a dream, some quiet thoughts
                         Hardly a talent, but all we’ve got
                     So we contemplate on a picture or two
                        And wrap it in poetry, just for you

                       For I would give you a dream to live
                     In softest light, where shadows forgive
                     Where all things possible may be found
                    And come together, on a common ground"

Well you wrap dreams in poetry and share them real wel my dear Sunshine girl!
