Sleep carresses me tenderly
wrapped in a quiet haven of soft blankets
the faint scent of lavender in the air

With dreams that leave me with
no memories
other than the essence of joy
hovering around me
as I awake slowly with a small smile at the corners of my mouth
absently brushing back tendrills of hair
lying quietly in that moment of
floating
between sleep and morning
attempting to capture where I was
in those dreams
feeling their mist floating away from me
teasingly leaving me only with the echo
of happiness

To hold tomorrow we must first be willing to let go of yesterday.

dreamkeeper - You write,
"Sleep carresses me tenderly
wrapped in a quiet haven of soft blankets
the faint scent of lavender in the air"

I would be at peace wherever this may be. You do have touching words to say.

dreamkeeper,

You have described it perfectly. Those dreams will return tonight I bet. Nice writing.

I envy you being left with the essence of joy after waking and not remembering your dreams. That must be a wonderful feeling. Especially scented with lavender! A favorite of mine. Lovely poem.

Bathed in the evaporation of a dream . . .
Been there many times . . . wish I could capture it more often. A fitting place for the poet. Thanks for the write.

Dreamkeeper, you capture the peaceful waking of the senses beautifully, thank you again!

A quarter of a century must pass, for the writer to understand what and why he writes.

You have done yet another wonderful job with your writing. I can relate to the laying there between awake and asleep.
