I have a special place for dreams Under my pillow kept soft and warm Reminding me of crystal clear streams and knight protecting one from harm. My pillow will fluff each new day as my tussled head rises slowly up with my dreams kept tucked away as I reach out for my morning cup. I will always keep dreams there of things that I love so very well. Of memories that we all do share along with some I dare not tell. I will dream of trains on rails slowly climbing a mountainside. I will dream of dragon tales and a bold slayer who does ride. I will dream of friends that I have and hold within my soul to keep. I will dream of wisdom I gave as my eyes do peacefully sleep. I will dream of visions we wrote of magic carpets and waterfalls. Of voyages in an open boat as a loon flies by and calls. My dream now is of a friend who I cherish more than they know For I let her go ride the wind this friend I leave, I let go. |

![]() Oh, how this spoke to my spirit! I have recently had to bid farewell to a friend whom I will miss for the rest of my life! There isn't a moment that goes by that I do not weep for him, I miss him with all of my heart! and yes, my pillow has held many, many tears. I hold it, feel the cool crispness of it and speak to it when no one can hear. It is during those moments that I hear my muse, whatever or whoever that may be, and begin to believe everything is going to be alright. But, yes, my pillow has comforted me and held many secrets, fears and dreams through the years. Thank you for this poem! -befriend yourself and you will never be alone- Anna [This message has been edited by The Lady of Shallot (edited 10-17-2001).] |

Magnus, Oh how often to we not want to waken from dreams where dear departed friends laugh openly with us, or we are transported to a mystical place we never want to leave. This is very, very, nice. Chris Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away. |
