Dreamer

Dreamer ONE of my longings is that the stars above, So bright and far they scarcely shine on love Were not, out there, so distant from the moon But trekked across the sky to love bestrewn. I must not stay withdrawn but wish each day Unto the darkness, stars would find their way Onward through heavens submitting to the wind And motions that one dreamer might pretend. Never knowing that reality was lacked. Nor that mere fantasy seems to be fact. No one can make these heartfelt visions clear. Nor hope relieve the thoughts I still hold near. Stars, bestow brightly your light to love anew. Let us, sweetheart, together vows renew. © Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen January 12, 2010 Inspired by Poetrysoup member contest: A Romantic Longing !!
