Dreaming of Reality O feel the sun so bright all around I hear the flowers bloom though in reality it is still night I sleep alone in my room in my bed, all curled up dreaming of a special land, full of splendor and love, crystalline majestic, ballroom grand see me here, so serene and free, everyone wears a smile so wide, but most of the time, it's a lovers world and a man walks by my side. Grasses and flowers then fade away to a beach with miles of sand my love and I decide to stay and we walk closer, hand in hand the surf is in the distance O hear the sound of its roar I stand closer, so does he waves lap upon the shore soon my dream begins to fade, gone is the wind, the sea, the sand gone is the night, and day gone are the lovers hand in hand circa 1968 ©KRJ 24 June 2000 |

Dreams can be so wonderful! Just like this poem But I have to say, when it's a nightmare waking up is just fine by me!!! Love and hugs, Lizzie "Poetry is the true expression of my soul, it is my ultimate means of communication. It is my rainbow of delight." |
