A Flight of Dreams

A prelude to darkness will glide on wings of twilight,
 Night will slip its ebon shawl upon the sky
 and twinkling stars will loosen dreams
 that nestle in surreal gleams

 Reality will open the dreamer's eyes
 As shadows walk across the wall,
 The arms of night holds the mystery of the stars,
 As moonlight shines on mystic waterfalls

 Dreams will take an imagined flight
 As Morpheus shifts the shapes of the mind's dimension,
 Things will be revealed in dreamland
 Which may be a brief retention

 Blanketed in slumber's peace
 Riding gentle waves of serenity,
 The troubles of the world are gone,
 Until time exhales the seconds to dawn

"Blanketed in slumber's peace/ Riding gentle waves of serenity,/ The troubles of the world are gone,/ Until time exhales the seconds to dawn" Beautiful depiction of night when people give a temporary respite to all nagging problems of life. Beautifully composed dear friend !

A dream will either excite and astound, or truly frighten or disappoint, and the dreamer would certainly embrace the one which is serene. I'm impressed with your line; "Until time exhales the seconds to dawn". Great poem Joseph!...ab
