My Dream Within a Dream
The dream stays with her when she wakes
from a contented sleep,
the eye of new day promises~
love and joy with laughter anew,
like flowers blooming in roadside
gardens across the bridge
to where she longs to be
away from darkness that shadows
and hides her dream of soaring
above the firmament,
above the elements,
above the hopelessness that keeps
her snared like an old woman
biding until the curtain drops
to hide the stage and stop
her dream within a dream~
yesterday was full of lessons,
tomorrow is a vague unease
of unknown drama coming near,
today it is enough to wake
from a contended sleep
and see the eye of promise,
and flowers blooming in roadside
gardens across the bridge
to where she longs to be.
