Michael Degenhardt Poet Rhyme

Dream of Us

Flashbulbs light the darkened mind
While pictures focus sharp and true
To capture there, what’s hard to find
To hold it strong, that part of you
Forever then to own the rights
To hold you close upon dreams night

Within the realm of nighttime dreams
You’re never far, but close to me
Where we so bask by yonder streams
As fields of green are all we see
And in this mind, you’re mine to keep
At least for now, this time I sleep

Carrie Richards October 28, 2008 at 7:37 AM I really relate to this lately, so many nights the flashbulbs are popping on so much in my mind, that I lay awake for hours. Then finally when sleep comes, the dreams are such reality. There are no lights with on and off switches! Seems they are always on! ~ Carrie
