Send Me A Dream

Send me a dream,
or better come and share;
pull back the darkened lace
of sleeping, mine, yours,
and with your spirit
weave our dreams together,
bind them one, surround
us both in seams of memory,
threads of hope, and where
you find the patterns matching,
make of them a single cloth,
a bonding that is strong enough
to bring into the day.

This reads so carefree to me, as if to say,  welcome to my dream everyone,
it is as real to me as the air I breathe.  

Love your work Ed~

you bind strength and imagination in your writing: an umbeatable pair. What an amazing piece.

Through the darkness
I can see your light
And you will always shine
And I can feel your heart in mine

I will remember you

You'd think that someone as verbose as I am wouldn't lack words to tell a poet how much I like a work. *S* But you weave images and metaphors and hopes so well I can only admire the work of a master craftsman. *S* This is beautiful!

Ed, this is beautiful. You're getting good at this romance stuff, my friend.

I guess you know who I thought of when I was reading it?? LOL  

Very good writing, as always, Poet, Sir.

The layering in this piece is very touching~

Ed,
The ladies are swooning. Wonder how many dreams will merge tonight?

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

Ed...

"make of them a single cloth,
a bonding that is strong enough
to bring into the day."

What a lovely thought!
