If

If I dream my time is precious 
how will I feel when I wake up? 
I will be blessed that I was born 
on the seventh day 
of nineteen thirty seven, 
blushing cheeks, green eyes, 
black hair. 

If I dream my time is precious 
how will I feel when I wake up? 
I will provide medicine to my soul, 
cure my unbearable pains, 
never cry in the darkness 
control my uncontrollable tears, 
end my endless loneliness, 
forget all my sadness. 

If I dream my time is precious 
how will I feel when I wake up? 
I will treasure my freedom, 
eliminate any emotional conflicts, 
ignite my power to feel my pounding 
rhythms, crave to be loved by a lover. 

If I dream my time is precious 
how will I feel when I wake up? 
I will light up my flame with passion, 
look gracefully beautiful, 
to perceive a dance floor 
brighter than the moonlight, 
dance to the humming surrounding 
my shadow, together, we are exceptional. 

If I don't dream, how will I feel 
when I wake up? 
I will not weep, I will honor my expectations, 
the morrow is another day. 
I will nurture my awakening calmly, 
to feel a blissful sensation today, 
get lost in the depth of my emotions 
to perceive a future painted, 
with rainbow colors. 

My soul will survive with a diligent power, 
guide my spirit to envisage reality, 
not to abandon the precious age. 
I will amaze my passion to feel the urge 
to glide, through the abyss, tour 
an everlasting passage of peace.

Anytime Terry, sometimes I get lost reading all the replies poetry soup keeps sending to my e-mail. I will be back fully this summer. Then, I can take my time, and read more of your poems. SO please, please visit my poems this summer, that way I can have you near my comment box.. I use my phone to comment, so it is hard searching for the poet my heart desires... Hugs and love LINDA

Terry . . . I was checking out here one of your earlier writes. The dream metaphor is oh so powerful and compelling. Enjoyed this one immensely my dear. A Big "7" from me on this particular write!! (BTW, I will be working on some more romantic writes. I think I've found my voice for them now. We'll see what happens!!) I will stay in touch. Cheers and Best Wishes Always, Gary

Hi PD, just jumped in to say hi, and apologize for my staying away most of last year to recently, coming back on and off. I want to know that you are doing great, as I have not seen you here for a while, since my dearest friend Lucy passed away. I am so happy you met her, and passed some time with her. You are such a sweet lady PD. Much love to you PD. Terry xoxo
