Dream On

Dream on, young one, the day is new
The earth of May is sweet with dew
Fresh scent of early breezes creep
Through morning’s window as you sleep

The dawn is peeking through the mist
Soon sun will find a cheek to kiss
And wake your lovely slumbering eyes
To bright of day and blue of skies

But now in shades of purple hue
Let shadows wrap and comfort you
In secret dreams of fantasy
Of one whose love you’ve yet to see

Just one more moment filled with bliss
With eyelids closed to early mist
Sweet dreams behind the sleeping eyes
Will soon be gone with sunny skies

The dreams beneath a midnight moon
Are meant to be forgotten soon
The dreams you dream with open eye
Will last until the day you die

And then after death, the dream becomes reality
As we sleep our way through eternity...

Beautiful

"I know someday you'll have a beautiful life
I know you'll be a sun
In somebody else's sky
But why...why...why
Can't it be...can't it be mine..."

I love this. Your poem is so clear and easy to visualize the concepts it contains.

Until you are are near it, you will never see it, until you live it you will never know it...this is why we must not judge it.

You got me with this one...I can't sing or I would sing it to my Granddaughter, and I hope it gets to be a lullabye that is sung by many as it is too nice not to be shared in a "big way"! Beautiful work as usual.

Well my dear, I just read your poem in time, for in just a moment I will dream on with your lovely words in my head and heart.
