(Pardon the brief simple nature of this one, but it was actually a challange to write a poem in less than 5 minutes from thought to completion) Don’t Wake Me Hush don’t wake me I am dreaming While through the window Daylight’s streaming Shhh...don’t wake me I am sleeping Into my thoughts now You are creeping Please don’t wake me Just one more minute Lost in my dream And you are in it To love means never to be afraid of the windstorms of life: should you shield the canyons from the windstorms you would never see the true beauty of their carvings. ~Elizabeth Kubler-Ross |

I love it, Ruth! It matters not how strait the gate; How charged with punishments the scroll; I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul. --W.E. Henley |

Ruth, Is this one of those reoccurring dreams..? I know somebody not to far from here who's suffering from the same scenario. Maybe ya'alls connected..? She says it always begins early in the morning somewheres 'bout time da kids wake. Thank God I'm in a dream of some kind but I sure hope I'm not awake yet. |

I know that feeling... You just mellow out - dream the dream of your choice... and DON'T fully awake until you choose... I like it...  |
