Anatomy of a Dream

The night has recruited All of its darkness to swim Through the eyes of those ones Who might dream in their storybook Land of the past and the present right Into a sequence of awesome bright future Tonight when you drift off Just let yourself venture to far Away places,to lovers and strangers To answers and questions not all of your Making but still you will ponder as you storm Through the tempest and the golden theatrics What keeps us all dreaming Why some see their visions in Flashes of moon shaft and some In a palette of vivid bright colors that Rival a rainbow but still you will know that The daylight's approaching as quick as an eye blink **for John Freemans contest "Your Free Verse Precept"

You are a terrific writer, Deb! Who knows why some dream in black and white while most of us seem to dream in color? Excellent writing! Wishing you success in John's contest! Love, Carolyn
