Wilma Neels Poet Narrative

'dream In Color'

I walked away with my mind and body in tact 
yet again my heart was bruised 

I didn't even realize how badly this time 
until I sat down and analyzed my thoughts

my whole being felt torn 
will it ever get to its previous state of pretension?

I guess the only one way to find out
Is to unearth my treasure trove

try and close my eyes 
see if I get to dream in color tonight 

if I get that right,  I’ll start anew in the morning 
the hope and promise of seeing a new day 

Inspired by Linda Marie’s Treasure Trove Contest

Carolyn Devonshire March 4, 2012 at 3:21 PM Wilma, sometimes dreams help us escape the harshness of our world. I thought everyone dreamed in color until I read a book on dreams. You really have a knack for compartmentalizing feelings and moving forward with hope. God bless you, dear. Love, Carolyn
