Running Toward Vivid Dreams

I run toward the bed, wanting dreams to begin
Loving what happens night after night, as I build my empire
It’s not an egotistical world, it is a giving world
Started out with an orphanage
Where all the Little Orphan Annies have a place
Laughing and singing in comradeship,
Loving their lives in the happiest place on earth
I am the ringmaster, so the music is mine
The sets are mine, but the stage is theirs
Eagerly, I leave my “haha so-called-real-life” behind
I close my eyes, knowing I will be introduced to new colors
New shapes, new experiences, new adventures

Caren! Long time no see!but 2022 since Julu foind me off a lot. This poem gave me lots to ponder,, for me it is deceptively simple in its statements. It is well craftedwith well chosen words that gave forth its many. Images. Sounds like an opening for s long narrative. New Year hugs! sallyn
