Without a Dream 2 Without a dream the day is never done Without a dream the night would be no fun Without a scheme the weary stays rerun Without a dream To fly away and leave this life of bore To fly away into the evermore To fly away and have what I adore Just fly away. I touch the things that life can never bring I hear a song that I could never sing I have a love that goes beyond the spring I hear a song. When things go wrong I flap my wings and fly When things go wrong I am a butterfly If not for this I think that I would die When things go wrong. So sigh a sigh and let your mind to stray Just close your eyes and have a dream today Don’t ask you why and you’ll be on your way Just close your eyes. |

Seymour~ I just woke up ... and here you are telling me it's okay to 'close my eyes' ... 'So sigh a sigh and let your mind to stray Just close your eyes and have a dream today Don’t ask you why and you’ll be on your way Just close your eyes.' I like the way you operate ! My kinda guy~ Zzzzzzzzzzz ! *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Wherever there are dreams there is magic, and wherever there is magic all wishes come true. Oh I loved this, and to me there is nothing better than closing my eyes and simply drifting to somewhere. You wrote this so well, and I loved the form, the last lines of each stanza stuck in my mind, so will go now and dream them away. Loverly! The older I grow, the less important the comma becomes.

If you dream those things that life never seems to touch often enough, they have a habit of coming true, if you can recognize and accept them. Nicely done. |

Ah Sy! Lovely words! Without dreams thoughts would be vacant of the seedlings of creativity. Dreams always play such a prominent role in the artistic view of observing this life we lead. Well done my friend! |

Yes, we all need dreams don’t we? They make the harsh realities of life a little softer sometimes. And you know, sometimes, those dreams really do come true. A quote from a song of my youth, and one that has always been close to my heart: You’ve got to have a dream If you don’t have a dream How’re you going to have a dream come true? If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |
