Carry All Sometimes, she just waits to see if that dream will come as much as she fears it [for she startles herself awake in the falling ones] she looks forward to it. Some days it is all just too heavy and she finds herself hoping on strands of string that she could loose herself of it all as she forgets about the dream… it is then, late at night collapsing amid sheets of quilts quitting the real, reaching for Morpheus that it may come…. it begins in black some side street named Maple Drive, she believes, with large oak trees lining and always spring greened, though sun is no where around as moon is hiding, too, so perhaps it is just spirit light that illuminates… she never knows… power lines stretch overhead and she knows that if she lifts, she must avoid them, beware, be ware, be a ware… will it come? Will it be there, the slight breeze that must be, so less than tentative, a faltering feel but please, please, please comes the beg, arms outstretched, be aware of power lines, look out for oak limbs reaching, snagging, drawing back, pray to limbs let me be and she lifts, holding her breath, she must be, gasses amassing inside like helium allowing lift, for she is not breathing, don’t break the moment, more fragile than any bubble, more fragile than love, lift, lift, and fly above it all… then just before the question how high? It’s done. Over. Laced curtains peek gray streams Of beginnings, Somewhere the red bird sings She closes her eyes Looking behind her own orbs, Knowing it was there, For a brief moment Then begins again To carry all. |

Sybil, our dreams help us to "carry all" sometimes, don't they?  "Love makes the world go around" |

Very descriptive write gal...sometime dreams are wonderful things to remember..other times you hope you don't remember them when you awake........ I had a dream one time I was a school desk in a 9th grade classroom and some little prick was carving his name in my back....I remember the first five letters even today....they were "B-A-L-L-A".... |
