Dreams

Many places, many towns
People seem to dream
Dreams full of love and life
Terror and passed mistakes
What, if anything comes from these
Maybe purging of the soul
Could it be events to come?
It would be nice to know

There have been dreams that have come true
In another place and time
I had a dream not long ago 
That revealed a family crime
I would hate to be like Joseph
The interpreter of many dreams
A blessing cursed from heaven and hell
If in fact they do exist 

The message received, a grain of salt
Until the truth revealed
Events portrayed will remain in hiding
Until it’s time to tell
My only wish from this day on 
The torment will cease one day
Bringing sleep void of dreams
Taunting night and day
