Jolene Cheyney Poet Verse

Write Me a Dream

Write me a poem,
No,
write me a dream.

You see,
when I lay my head 
on my pillow at night.
Only rarely hear
The dreamers' call
You know, 
the white noise 
that you hear 
just before you 
drop to sleep.
When I do, 
my mind is frantic, 
Cuz I know 
that which is to come 
will not cause peace and rest
But it will
Put me on the run.

So I beg of you, 
write me a dream.

Write me a dream 
that will put to shame
each nightmare 
that has crossed my path.

When there's 20 or 30 or 50
Help me to 
bind them in a book
So when I need source of inspiration
To free my mind of that which claims it
I will know exactly where to look.

Write me a poem.
No,
Write me a dream, please.

Daniel Turner October 1, 2016 at 10:01 AM Technically dreams serve a purpose, It is comparable to defragging one's computer. It is the brain's way of sifting through information discarding the unimportant and saving the important. However, medication alters the process. Nice write, Jolene:) Sweet dreams!
