Wide Eyed Dreaming

I'm a wide eyed open dreamer Who's not tethered to a bed. While others remain sleepinig I just live my dreams instead I'm all about adventure I live life like it's a ride My heart is fully open Not a thing I wish to hide In my dream are people Who've been gifted to me When it comes to dreaming I'm where I wish to be I am riding a rainbow Looking up at a blue sky No limits to my thinking With my mind I travel high Living in the moment Finding magic every place Feeling each precious second As I breathe they interlace You can rise up from your bed Be a wide eyed dreamer too We are not so many Yet we're still quite a few This poem grew out of an email conversation I had with my niece Nicole. I dedicate this one to her.

I dream in both realms Rick, maybe that's why I'm such a slow writer lol. I sure admire you wide eyed dreamers that can keep coming up with brilliant writes like this day after day. Take care, Richard

I think, being a wide eyed dreamer is a requirement, if you want to be a good writer! I know that I am one, too! A very inspirational and encouraging poem, Richard! Very nicely done!...Thank you very much for the great comments.
