The Dream

interlockingI just

Woke up

From the

Most glorious

Dream.

You were

Coming home

Tomorrow.

You called

To tell me

You

Couldn’t

Wait

To spend

The day

With me.

I was

In

Heaven.

When I

Awakened,

I could

Tell that I

Was smiling.

A warmth

Enveloped

Me.

Finally,

Some

Happiness

In a

Broken hearted,

Lonely world.

Then I slowly

Became

Aware

That it

Had all

Just been

A dream.

Does that

Make my

Perfect dream

A nightmare

Now?

    No. Dreams are the feelings they leave you with. This one brought you love and hope, even if it was brief. Savor that and forget the reality.

  3. I love this! You really a talented writer!

    I think dreams are a window into your soul. (<- sounds a bit 'hippy' doesn't it?) They play out your hopes, fears and desires.

  4. *You really are a talented writer. Excuse my poor writing, it’s been a long day. Haha!
