Richard Lamoureux Poet Quatrain

Wide Eyed Dreaming

I'm a wide eyed open dreamer
Who's not tethered to a bed.
While others remain sleepinig
I just live my dreams instead

I'm all about adventure
I live life like it's a ride
My heart is fully open
Not a thing I wish to hide

In my dream are people
Who've been gifted to me
When it comes to dreaming
I'm where I wish to be

I am riding a rainbow
Looking up at a blue sky
No limits to my thinking
With my mind I travel high

Living in the moment
Finding magic every place
Feeling each precious second
As I breathe they interlace

You can rise up from your bed 
Be a wide eyed dreamer too
We are not so many
Yet we're still quite a few

This poem grew out of an email conversation
I had with my niece Nicole. I dedicate this 
one to her.

Richard D Seal November 20, 2013 at 7:05 PM I dream in both realms Rick, maybe that's why I'm such a slow writer lol. I sure admire you wide eyed dreamers that can keep coming up with brilliant writes like this day after day. Take care, Richard

Kelly Deschler November 18, 2013 at 4:31 PM I think, being a wide eyed dreamer is a requirement, if you want to be a good writer! I know that I am one, too! A very inspirational and encouraging poem, Richard! Very nicely done!...Thank you very much for the great comments. Richard Lamoureux November 18, 2013 at 5:11 PM My pleasure Kelly.
