Dreams of Writing - 5 Line Contest

I dreamt of dripping tears in my dream,
And silent verses floated noiselessly as butterflies;
These dreams like ghosts from the past my writing themes,
O,  there is a sweetness and beauty amid the tears of tragedies,
My life sad but still lovely as a garden ravaged that weeps and sighs.
