Dreams

Dreams

Like paper airplanes floating on the breeze
forever drifting gently to and fro
and guided freely with the greatest ease
whichever way the wistful winds may blow,
our deepest dreams will take us where they please.

Just gliding through the clouds on gossamer wings
and softly floating ‘cross the moonlit sky
like paper airplanes unconstrained by strings,
nocturnal dreams just gently float on high
and bring us visions filled with magic things.

And in the morning as we raise our head
and clear the clouds out of our sleepy eyes,
we will recall the dreams our conscience fed
like paper airplane’s journey of surprise
across the nighttime skies where we were led.

Those ageless paper airplanes will forever enthrall the child and the parent or grandparent that makes them. they fly up high into sky and rest on fluffy clouds, which conjures up spellbound moments for us whilst we are asleep. I have to fave this as I remember those paper airplanes so vividly, I hope i have a similar dream tonight John. A breathtaking poem and incredible imagination. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

"our deepest dreams will take us where they please." Yes, they will, because anything is possible when you drift on a snow white cloud. This is so beautiful and dreamy, my dear friend. I'm floating in the sky, and I never wish to come down. May those magical moments continue to lift your heart. My best to you. :) Hugs, Brandy
