Savored Dream

My dreams take me to another place and time.
Escaping reality, easing the discomfort of life,
I fall into darkness, silent as a strolling mime.
Gradually the light grows, cutting like a knife.
Bridging the gap that swirls me deeply in sleep,
Eagerly I wait what my imagination will drive.
Will this one be delightful or cause me to weep.
Either way I crave the dreams for me to survive.
As I savor the repeated ones, I adore so much.
When I explore the details of each night, I see.
The information that is stored in the minds clutch.
My lucent dream of flying over both land and sea,
I await the beauty as I fly through the distant sky.
Along with the stars of a moonlit night so high,
Watching the clouds rolling as I continue by.
Echoed by a moonlit shadow, trailing as I fly,
These dreams so surreal to my ever-lucid mind,
Stay the insanity of my life within humankind.

The line about the mime is inspired in my opinion. And the last line is just so superb. These touches make the poem a worthwhile read, especially for those of us who also love to dream.
