Dreams.

Away with strife and toil...... pain and sorrow dim
  as into a mysterious shroud of darkness
light as a feather I spin.
Sheep gamboling on fields of
 colorful hues in  blue and green 
old friends I meet again
in places I have never been.
A child again.......... skipping rope , counting  eggs
chickens and ducks on flying legs.
Angels hands caress  my cheek
under  wings of winking gems
I play hide and seek.
A little dove as white as snow
in blurry mists .... an ethereal glow.
Voices  call out from afar
as I  ride upon a  shooting star.
Rivers flow clear and bright
oceans surge against the tide
sturdy crabs on sandy beds 
conch shells whisper in my ear.
A bouquet of flowers....from mother dear
a symbol of love  from one 
who  passed away many  long years.
Gems glitter on trees
the tinkle of wind chimes in the breeze
as a voice calls from somewhere near.
Rise and shine...open your eyes
 a gentle shake......I am awake.
Yet I  would  rather be in that beautiful place
 the world of dreams
 a beautiful face....bejewelled trees
  flowers of love... sunbeams
shooting stars...a brilliant light
 in my heart  an ethereal glow resides.
My waking hours are now
 enhanced by a glimpse of beauty 
beyond compare
in a place  between sleep and wake
the space between two worlds
 a place where mysteries unfold 
and beautiful stories are told.
