Our Dreams From Times Before

Our Dreams from Times Before
 
Dreams that come to us from times before,
Oft tease our minds inciting images galore.

Speaking to us psyche-deep, in our deep-sleep,
They nudge us gently to take that ethereal leap!

Dreams may surely incite past emotions very sad,
Causing us wicked thoughts that are mad and bad!

These dreams may also bring us even to Heaven’s gate,
Ensuring we see what glorious images there so await!

Angels may come to us in our dreams from times before,
Telling us of God’s love as our souls seeketh His door.

Our souls shall find an eternity-true beyond God’s door;
What a wonder awaits us in our dreams from times before!

"Angels may come to us in our dreams from times before, Telling us of God’s love as our souls seeketh His door." Trhe...I believe I've experienced angelic visitors in both wake and sleep. Many people do drawings and paintings of them but, nothing quite describes their beauty. A beautifully-penned poem; thanks Gary.

Hello ML!! Great to hear from you!! I hope all is well with you!! I am very pleased that liked my latest couplet here. This theme had been on my mind for some time before I put pen to paper, but finally the words came to me in perfect order. I, too, have had similar visitations, but usually in my sleep. A fascinating topic for sure!! Cheers and Best, Gary

Great poem about a most intriguing topic, Gary. After all the research we still know very little about dreams. A most enjoyable and thought provoking write:)
