Dreams

Dreams are your visions that no one can steal. They arrive in the darkness of night. A window to feelings you cannot conceal When your body`s too tired to fight. Wishes and hopes you`ve tucked safely away Can resurface in vivid detail. Fears and frustrations of previous days May return on a much larger scale. Escaping to dreams can be a relief From your life`s everyday endless stress. Or a chisel to chip at the boulder of grief Left in place of a loved ones caress. So, yes, in a way, our dreams tell a tale Of our lives greatest triumphs and pain. And sometimes the real world may appear pale To the unconscious memories you gain.
