If I had a chance to wish Upon a falling star I'd wish for just one moment Things wouldn't be the way they are For just a single moment To be lying next to you To see that sparkle in your eyes Under the waning moon To see a smile on your face I'd gladly stay away Knowing that you are happy Makes it a brighter day I'd gladly keep my distance To see your shining smile If it comes down to that At least I can dream a while |

Jeffrey* I've got tears rolling down my cheeks with this piece.....I understand it and have been in a similar place......no I don't know exactly what you are feeling but I do know what this causes me to feel. Beautiful work~ |

The most precious gift of love is the dream you have set forth. Excellent write my friend. |

William Faulkner once said "Perhaps they were right in putting love in books. Perhaps it could not survive anywhere else." Ah, but it can. It can also survive in dreams. Beautiful piece! --You can either take me as I am...or you can watch me as I go.-- |

Jeffrey, It is wonderful to dream, isn't it? Sometimes though that has to be enough. I hope that the dreams keep you smiling my friend. Nice writing. LW Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |
