If in dreams it seems
     I am happy
Then
  So
    Be
      It
Even if in nightmares
    it feels
otherwise
       and who is the wiser?

While dreams may carry me
  forward to
    tomorrow
(does it ever come?)

Yesterday sometimes
    invades my space

Nightmares
are made of

yesterday’s dreams

gone awry.

and there is no answer why

It just was
the way things went.

The ancients
understood.

Wise woman, you...
yes, the ancients saw
through the soil
and into the heavens.

We should all sleep outside
at least once in our lives...

Yesterday sometimes
    invades my space
more than sometimes for me *s...

Yes Ma'am, indeed they DO understand,
and your knowing this is very, very cool in my book.  Enjoyed your write much!

If I said I understand,  does that make me
one of them?  Seriously,  dreams are so
strange at times....yet at other times they
make perfect sense and reflect a part of us
that is within our soul and mind.

You always come up with something totally
unique,  a fresh breath of air.  Thanx Kacy.

Thanking you, Barry. Each day offers something new, and some days, I don't want what's being offered; but it comes my way anyway. I guess the international news today just brought me to my knees....and I am not one for praying, more like...begging?

thank you, m'friend

The mysteries of yesterdays, when they were tomrrows, are not unfolded by their passing,
nor are the mysteries of dreams revealed.  Well thought out words, Kacy.  KJ

Through rubble and trouble and dark of night
The yawn of a dawn will hasten the light

This was thought provoking, but I still believe and always will believe...our lives unfold as we've been conditioned and what we believe...doesn't mean we're wrong...or right...it's just sometime, not the way others feel and believe, b/c of the way they've grown up.  

Perhaps I've gone off in another direction, from the message your were relating?

Good thoughts to ponder though...well written

I can't tell you how deeply these lines touched me... I can only say... how achingly true. *S* This is excellent!!
