Unpurged sad memories invade my dreams. How fragile man is despite vain attempt! Could be the waning moon with dreadful beams? Useless to look back on sins in contempt. Wake up my love, Wake up. Look at the sky, High-freezing clouds fly amassing cold ice It's the end of night. See the sun is high Paint the sky blue, so that all will be nice. Dreams will be forgotten, work we attempt All shattered thoughts escape in sleepy eye, Let memories fade and no longer tempt. At night, soft memories return with sigh.

"At night, soft memories return with sigh". Quite true ! A reality is powerfully established here. ! Dreams can be invgorating or oppressive. Whatever it be, on waking up, let them not plague us . Great poem dear Victor.

Dreamscape poems, filled with memories are like gossamer mist gone with the dawn... Delice

Some dreams make me scream, it’s true and I wake myself and husband too. Then some are so lovely I never want to forget them, but forget I do. Enjoyed the read, Belle

It seems that you read my mind with your magnificent work. Victor, please pray for the people of Iran. They are like forgotten people. No government is acknowledging their uprising.

Wonderful poetry that shows how reality always comes before aspirations. In the grip of a dream, beautifully evocative. Victor, congratulations for a beautiful poetry.

Victor, this piece, as I read it, presents its poet/author as thoughtful, compassionate, realistic, loving, and observant. It also can read as tender advice, similar to the poem you wrote for your daughter. I like your choice of word, the fine imagery. A sage, flowing poem. Hugs………….sally

It is best to forget bad dreams, when the sun is high and paints the sky blue. After all, each day is a new beginning. Vibrantly written. :)

Let memories fade and no longer tempt...it helps us not to meditate too much, but still they pop in especially at night. May the good Lord give you peaceful sleep. Hugs ~ Kim
