Please show that place where I can go
To find of answers I must know
Please give my heart the strength to beat
So I can cope with all I meet

And could you grant me moment’s peace?
Before all satin’s sin’s release
Then give some shame to greed of man
Who seems to ruin all he can

Could you spare some words that heal?
A voice to help the injured deal
A hand of friendship that I need
A wise man’s thought that I can seed

Please show just once, that I will know
And show the way that I should go
Then I will be one happy man
Who lives the dream as best he can

Rick,

this was a beautiful write, so sincere
and honest...straight from your heart
obviously. your writing always flows so
easily together, and leaves me with a
smile.

take care,
Amy

Dreamless

If I had a dream
I'd share it with the world
my trembling voice raised singing
and my flags of hope unfurled.

If I had a dream
I'd share it all with you
every last detail and tone
each distant tinted hue.

If I had a dream
we'd live it to the tee-
but alas, I am dreamless,
though not for long
so until I can compose my song,
please share your dream with me.

Dear Amy, great to see you here tonight, thank you so much for this wonderful comment, you have given me a smile in return, you take care as well.

Dear Dixie,
I enjoyed your poem Dixie, so here it is, My dream.

I dream of when I waken to a morning filled with love
When all the questions deep within come answered from above
I dream of peace throughout the world, a land of mans reprieve
I dream of days that carry hope and people who believe
I dream of being more than one who travels just one road
I dream of friends, so many friends who lighten up my load
I dream we all are happy and without the need to cry
I dream that I'm so lucky and my soul will never die
I dream, I dream and then I wake to try and live the dream
My dream then does become my life and life becomes my dream

You inspired this tonight Dixie, I am about post it now, thanks.

serenities_blood, great to see you here, thanks mate for the comment, very much appreciated.

To you all my friends, thanks again for all the replies, they were great.

Sincerely
Rick

Sounds like a search not only for a dream, but a good person.  I just found him.  Well done, Sir.

You are not the only one who dreams these things. Thanks for giving words to our innermost thoughts.
