Dreams

I dream in the light of day
With eyes open or closed
I see better days; greatness
And a brighter future
I see free men like stars of the sky
I see beggars riding horses
I just don’t call them wishes

I dream in my dreams
Haunting things 
I see in my sleep
Things that bless you with insomnia
Stories that no one wishes for
I dream in horror scenes; terror
I just don’t call them nightmares

I dream, 
Of what I have seen,
Of what I think,
Of what I want,
Of things that became real
But they are dreams, 
I just don’t call them visions.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
