Dreaming

 


I don't dream much anymore

My head hits the pillow, that's it

Book by the bedside unread

As dream weavers come to me

Standing there to check me out

Calling my name, I say nought

As they find me fast asleep

Touch my hands and read my palm

Quietly whisper in my ear

I dream of flying away now

So push the covers aside

Hold on as we slip away

Flying in the night time sky

I don't even wonder why

I don't feel heat or the cold

Behold I'm a wise hawk

Or a soft billowing cloud

I am part of creation

First life in a tiny shell

I see the meaning of life

Then the dark night brightens up

I'm back in bed, book unread

Dawn is winking through the curtain

T'was more than dreams, I'm certain

  1. I like this very much. I like the "dream weavers come for me...and how they read the narrator's palms.
    What a wonderful dream (or place) they took the sleeper! I will guess by the time he or she completely wakes the "meaning of life" will be forgotten though. That's what happens to me if I dream something important (or think it is while half awake), and I wake and think "I'll never forget that," but I do!

  2. What a wonderful flight...waking dreams can be better than sleep ones
