Dare To Dream

Dare to Dream Bottled dreams Under lock and key Whispers on wings We seldom see Reality loosened On sleeping shores Wave upon wave Inviting more Memories mixed With fantasy lore Enticing visuals To dare explore Ride the tides To foreign sands An open mind Urged to expand Bottled dreams Turn the key Open thoughts Set them free All Rights Reserved : 3/8/13

Wonderful write on dreams. It's good to read you again. I like how some are kept close under lock and key. I think our minds are most open in dreams. Well done.

Hello Debra, so glad you stopped. I was short last time on this sweet rhyme. It really deserves better. But that being said, I think I'll stop. For crying out loud, this ain't a letter. :)

We spend a lot of our life pleasing others only to forget about ourselves in the process. Our dreams get locked away while we focus on others. Nicely written. love phyl

Debra; this is really good. I think that's what I need to do. All my life I spend trying to please other people. Now I'm going to try to please myself. Thanks for sharing this beautiful poem. Lucilla

I've been on a week's holiday in Turkey, there is the internet very bad - has not been reading much poetry. - (But when I have vacation I would do other things) - Today I'm back home and have time to read your lovely poetry Debra. - Have a relaxed weekend. - oxox / / Anne-Lise :)
