A Dream

Once upon a time, a dream was a dream.
locked up in my mind, left cold and unseen.
Years have passed many a moon,
night-n-gales whistled many a tune.

...and the stars swing low through the midnight glow
...and the angel sings as she folds her wings
...and all these memories draw back these dreams.

Some of new and some of old,
some of coals and some of gold.
The work, the play of each new day,
The sun that sparkles or the clouds of gray.
Who knew that dreams come when you pray?

From the first breath to the last breath,
and the ones in between
bring you lines of joy
like the sweet wine that is aging.

My maker says "reason" with me,
 He has called me out by name.
Leading me where there is no sorrow,
brining me home where there is no pain.

I dream of my home too. Your poem makes me smile with pretty pictures dancing in the mind of my heart. There are days when I pray, "For pity's sake heal me or take me home." Then, I wake again. The cone of time sucks me back in to the monotony of breathing. Loved the read, thanks.

An interesting mesh of night dreams and day dreams. I like your premise that day dreams can trigger recollections of night dreams. Enjoyed your dreamscape.
