Keeper of Dreams By Paul Wilson Across the boundary of my mind Visions shown to me well defined Dreams of another time and place Ascending steps of golden staircase Greeted by a voice that has no face Something not of the human race Welcome come sit with me Let me expand your mind...more visions to see Where am I…who are you? I am the keeper of dreams that haunt you Visitors from the other side Come at night no place to hide My mind is engulfed by the dark Where evil demons leave their mark I open my eyes in disbelief As a light grants me relief Suddenly the room is consumed in light As the evil demons take flight A figure slowly walks toward me From these dreams I will set you free Take my hand as we walk up golden staircase All those evil dreams I will replace Dreams of happiness will fill your nights Taking your mind to new heights Be positive and all you seek… will be yours Be not afraid to open new doors Look beyond the dark On this journey you must embark Today a new life awaits you Each step one less dream to haunt you Keep your faith in all you do God’s love will see you through Copyrighted 9/1/2020 ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ Paul |

I've had some pretty vivid "dreams" where things come to torture me. The strange thing about this poem is that as far as chairs and sitting being involved it reminds me of a dream that I had of a figure sitting in a chair watching me and slowly tapping his fingers on his knees. He was waiting to see what I was going to do, and I couldn't tell if he was friendly or not. I've often began praying in otger dreams like the torture ones and woke up still mouthing the words to the prayer. This definitely gave me chills. I think it shows that God can reach us anywhere, and the images are awesome! "How much is real? So much to question |
