Dreamers I’m standing in a line, it seems With other souls with other dreams Each one awaits his given turn As moments tick and candles burn And all the eyes are fixed upon The silver gleams on field and pond Reflections on the trees and hedge From dreams beyond the mountains edge So patiently we wait our turn No hurried step, no dire yearn And yet we stand in starlight’s beam Each one in line to catch a dream If I could have but one desire I’d not allow the candle's fire To waste the wick til I have seen All those in line obtain their dream A dreamer is a dreamer’s friend And all possess a poet pen Elizabeth Santos |

Elizabeth~ 'If I could have but one desire I’d not allow the candle's fire To waste the wick til I have seen All those in line obtain their dream' For I am but a dreamer too Can I stand in line with you ? I will share my ink of think On the edge of poetry's brink We will write until the dawn For dreams well-penned are never gone Captured in the words of rhyme Lasting into infinity of time *Thank your for the beautiful inspiration, sweet poetess. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |
