Dream In a Picture

Putting the brushes into a jar I view the picture from afar See how interesting the shapes become, Trees saying,  hey come, Come dance with me have some  fun Hug me, lean back and see the sun As it rises in the branches it will show the flowers of the fruit that will grow. The sun in the blue sky is a hot tool Just a whisper of a cloud to keep it cool Look at the stream as it trickles to nought The minnows and tiddlers ready to be caught No children in the picture as yet, Busy getting their jamjars and nets This dream in a picture is for real life as it should be not surreal Life of hope no longer pain Dreaming of the time when I am me again I look at my hands covered in colours galore Paint I can wash away, dreams  I store. May 9 . 2013. Dream contest

I love the rhyme and flow of this poem and like the others you nailed it with the last verse. I can only say I wish I had written it. Great job.
