Notes About The Poem

What Dreams Are Made Of

Memories and dramas replaying through the night
Some dreams are so beautiful and unbelievable
Others take you through a night’s journey of fright
They can be so powerful and conceivable

I wonder if dreams are trying to make things right
Making those little parts inside of us reachable
Keeping that light inside of us glowing bright
Taking moments of life makes them teachable

Thanks Anne, I struggle with this because I have gotten out of practice, and work has been demanding so my thoughts have been in shackles. This was therapy for me :)
