Difficult Dreams

They come
at night
     when stars in the heavens
are beaming down on us
       Difficult dreams
Images of  and confusion
               They fade when morning 
comes
The powers within
                  can heal you and change you
Yet they still are an
               unknown quantity
       despite the knowledge 
   we have gained
I believe that butterflies filled with love
will leap foward in due time
       Dark visions from the 
land of shadows
        will later be annointed with 
the sweet aromas
       of a garden
the nightmares
      can become joys
if we believe they will
Sweet morning always comes
again
  Remember that when fear 
  seems to reign supreme
  and hope seems like a 
  fading wisp of smoke
