Notes About The Poem

A Poets Dreams

A Poets Dreams

 There's a special place in heaven
far above the mountain streams.
For love and hope and angels
and dreams a poet dreams.

A poet is a parable.
A message from on high.
Whose words unlock the kingdom
to the tears we cry.

Enchanted, still a mystery
right from the very start.
Heaven holds the answers
to what's in a poets heart.

Like light is to the shadows
that drives the night away.
Are words unto a broken heart
the poet has to say.

Though a poet walk through hell
and other times they crawl.
Their words come straight from heaven
when the brokenhearted call. 

There are dreams a poet dreams
both wide awake and weeping.
That other men may never dream
that only dream while sleeping.

 For there's a special place in heaven
far above the mountain streams.
For love and hope and angels
and dreams a poet dreams.

LOL First day was great! I met lots of people. Thank God for name tags. I spent most of it in a room by myself watching videos and taking tests :) Today will be much the same. Tomorrow I get certified on the equipment. So it's still a little early for that LOL. <3

"A poet is a parable....a message from on high." That is the place my thoughts come from descending from the sky. I enjoyed the read. Missed your presence. God Bless. Much Love
