Days Overdue

Days overdue Dreams may find us where we sleep, wrapped up for the night Safely in our chambers dark, neath our covers tight Drowsy under moon beam glow, comforting the feel Born within a fantasy, nothing close to real Far beyond the deepest stare, vanilla coated skies Rolling hills to anywhere, breaths of passion’s sighs Sunset laughter, twilight seams, footprints in the sand Leading to our every wish, strolling hand in hand Yet often we may find a dream, waiting at our door When the sun is shining bright, wide awake once more One who sends a perfect view on a summer breeze Blooming through the countryside, echoing the trees You I find are such a dream before my eyes to see Bumblebees and butterflies, fragrance flowing free Mountain streams of aqua blue, clouds of whispered white Daffodils and lavender, enchanting is the sight As each day does start anew dew drop clover sings Melodies of what you are, all your smile brings Proving now that as I sleep, my days are overdue For when I wake, if you I see, my dreams have all come true Good morning Soupers

Hi Chris what a wonderfully written poem perhaps some day I will be able to write this well. (Sunset laughter, twilight seams, foot prints in the sand) what an amazing line. Thank you for sharing and good morning.

I think you just did. :) Edward, my friend, don't sell yourself short, you are a fantastic poet. I read a beautiful poem by you this morning. Wind chimes and hummingbirds I think it was. That was beautiful.
