Visions

I had a vision of my wedding
flowers, family and violins abound
my apparition gaze turns
and down the aisle walks a vision of white
in your eyes my future blooms
like the petals in your bouquet
like the petal soft heart
that I keep under my pillow at night
next to this ring
I had a vision that we lived happily ever after
without a worry in our minds
without a burden on our backs
as we sleep under these suede skies
I kiss your eyes
touch your shoulder
I see a vision of our child’s birth
locked inside the fire between us
and the key on the nightstand
we reach for with one thought
with one heart
soon you’re carrying
such precious life
to bless the world
bless a brittle autumn day
in this dream come true
I lose myself
with these hands
within this man
I hold a home for us
within this vision
I hold my family close
to myself
tonight as my daughter
sleeps in my arms
I watch her face in the firelight
dancing shadows
fluttering eyelids
dreaming, seeing
her visions taking her down
some rose petal aisle
to see her dreams come true

What lovely visions -

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

Please finish the poem.

Yes I like it but finished it, you have left something missing.
