my dreams lay still
at the foot of you

each moment
finds you further
than the last

you step into my heart
and pitch confetti 'round
then say goodnite
before it falls

my dreams interrupted
by silence
i heard only the door
closing
and i opened my eyes
to find the reality
you left behind

bits of paper on the floor

picking them up
i scribble upon each one
one word at a time

then i lay them out together
at your feet

these, my dreams

confetti wishes

one day, maybe one day
they will fall into our hands

This is some great imagery...I loved the gentle rhythm...step by step, painting of this poem...and it does feel like trying to piece together confetti, sometimes...sighs and hugs, lady, I enjoyed this one very much.

I enjoyed this much...So often things happen in our lives that seem just like "confetti" floating around everywhere and it's so hard to peice it back together..This one I shall keep, if you don't mind...   ~LL~< !signature-->

Now that's a scary proposition, laying your dreams at someone's feet, and wondering what he'll do with them.     Very nice images, Gale.
