Sleepy Dreams

Sleepy Dreams

Imagination roams beyond the dark.
When dreamy nights pass wistfully sublime.
And wings of heavens fly unto life’s shore. 
Where sleepy thoughts to memories do climb. 

Revising ill felt days with fantasy. 
Reviewing deepest joys within life’s core. 
Where sleepy thoughts to memories do climb. 
And wings of heavens fly unto life’s shore.   

Before night folds and yields itself to dawn.  
Forgotten dreams remember stolen time.  
And wings of heavens fly unto life’s shore.   
Where sleepy thoughts to memories do climb. 

The daylight too soon chases night away. 
And puff!  Reality is somehow famed by lore.
Where sleepy thoughts to memories do climb. 
And wings of heavens fly unto life’s shore.

Andrea, It must be a computer glitch'. I've had that happen before, too. I don't know what causes that. I wish I did. Lovingly, Dane Ann

Fantasy is a great way to forget the mundane troubles of day-to-day life, Dane Ann. I like the "dreamy" way you approach this subject and the imagery is awesome! Well done, my friend. Love, Carolyn
