Living In a Dream

Like two windows into my dream world..
My eyes close as the shades slowly uncurl..
No peaking through the night as I drift into space..
Last call for all reality as mystery outlines my face..

I look up to the sky, kissing raindrops before they hit the floor..
Each splashes on my lips, windows closed but still an open door..
Flying through seasons and days like pages flipped in a book..
Each turned so quickly no chance to stop and look.
The heat on my face to the chill on my hands, drenched in sunshine
over a snow capped land..

The brightness peeks through the shade as morning makes 
the evening fade..
What you dream is lived out over a continuous play..
Time to rise and follow your dream of today...

Carolyn Devonshire December 11, 2010 at 10:43 AM I like the way you describe the images we find in dreams, Michael. Sometimes they are so beautiful that we don't want the dreams to end. But as you say in your last line, we have to work to make such dreams a reality. A terrific poem, my friend. Love, Carolyn
