You wrote the song that enchanted lyrics
Composing avid tone to melody of music
Attuning cleverly to tenor of fantasies
Sending sensual hints to passionate wishes,
As vibrant stars ceded to darker motifs.
Infantile was my dream in night's reverie
Cuddling arms of love, hugging intently
Delighting in whispers of zealous winds
Wooed by romance of affectionate feelings,
Just before the misty sky began drizzling.
It was really you, who trampled my sleep
Just when I approached beholding your kiss.
Dismantling motives of amorous destiny
You disavowed with vigor allures of affinity,
Flashing a warning, a storm was brewing.
Rejecting my overture, you left the scene.
Your seduction was real, so was your love--
Indelible prologue to tomorrow's memory,
Yet truly ephemeral, as dreams tend to be.
The dream I dreamed never belonged to me.

I dreamed a song —
hush tones and haunted chords.
A woman loved once,
and it grew into a tree.
She watered it with years,
fed it her voice,
slept beneath it,
called the silence love.
And in the final verse,
she hung herself in its arms.
I woke with the melody lodged
between my ribs like a blade.
I turned to you,
my daughters,
my mirrors,
my storms unsoftened by shame.
I almost sang it to you,
almost let it pass
from my mouth into your bones,
like the women before me did —
lullabies lined with
martyrdom in a dress.
But I stopped.
Because I saw your eyes —
not frightened,
but awake.
And you, fierce ones,
you deserve a different song.
I dreamed a dream so vivid and true
Lucid, this magical woman just happened to be you.
Offered hand, selfless as you embraced my fears
Kindness overwhelmed which led to my tears.
Still apprehensive, how thoughtful you are
You cherished me, as much as I cherish a falling star.
Blessed and valued by your eternal embrace
With you, all my problems, now I can face
Feeling your tenderness as we fly up high
Warmth from your heart, tears parched as I cry
Why do you care so? Encased with your affection
Adoration for all, good or bad, no-one feels rejection
How you shine, you hold the key to humanity
Civility to all, how your honesty led me to Christianity
Pure sincerity from your soul, an amazing grace
Polite, moral manors that is needed in the human race
Now I must leave and wake to the bitter land
I found respect from my dream, like you, I’ll offer my hand
Spreading the word, that graciousness to all is pure love
Hand in hand to a peaceful place, that’s the dream from up above.
I love you Nan, thank you for your inspiration
With your help from heaven, I’ll carry on with my salvation
You gave me the number nine to be a Humanitarian
Knowing how people will turn against this, the contrarian.
A long long time ago (even not so long ago it sometimes seems),
I used to have what I perceived to be nice, practical dreams.
Not many of my biggest dreams ever did come true,
but there was one I felt so very sure that I would do.
I dreamed that a great milestone I’d one day fulfill.
I never thought to reach it would require too much skill.
I dreamed a centenarian one day that I could be.
At the time I wished for this, I was rather foolhardy.
I still was in my 20’s, so fit and energetic.
I did not know my dad’s side nor their awful stuff genetic.
Each mile since age 30 brought me strange new kinds of trials.
I know by now that I don’t care to make 100 miles!
Big Pharma too destroyed my dream of living many years.
The side effects of one bad drug has brought me pain and tears.
Don’t get me wrong. I love my life, and maybe I’ll live long.
My mother and her kin sure don’t have many things gone wrong.
But knowing what I know today of suffering and of
the many problems I have seen in people that I love . . .
I have no more the great dream to become a centenarian.
Seeing how the world is now, I’m ok with leaving here as an octogenarian.

What would it be like, through the eyes of a child
What if, staring into the abyss...
on a passing cloud floats a dream
~god's infinite paint brush~
A shadow emerges
A symphony of angels sing, music of the night
It was the night before Christmas
On display, snowflakes falling everywhere...
Dancing in the moonlight
~Countless minutes-blown away~
In a perfect world, if only for a minute...
I dreamed a dream
The dreamer
I feel like E.T.

I one time dreamed a dream wherein I walked across an open field,
where every step a memory was and every breath was poignant filled.
I saw each day I ever lived, they all bled slowly into one.
Each opportunity to give now stood a moment left undone.
I saw each thing I ever owned and tried so hard to justify,
but every effort woeful fell and I was left to wonder why.
Then as I walked I looked around in hope to find somewhere to go,
but there was nothing in the field… just sky above, and earth below.
Alone was I as time stood still, I shrank within this state of mind.
I felt so infinitely small and realized I had been blind.
For every moment bled together, not a single second gone.
I sought escape and wished to wake, but dream and field went on and on.
I walked until I could no more then fell upon my knees to plead,
and in this prayer I realized how truly desperate was my need.
I spoke a single cry for help and as I did I woke in sweat,
then lie there trying to calm myself, still full emerged in self regret.
But finally coming to myself I rose and washed it all away,
resolved to be a better man… and walk with purpose from that day.
I dreamed a dream of a magical place,
it was an enchanted forest dark green;
oh, a sweet butterfly just kissed my face,
and brilliant wildflowers sway and dance with grace,
a fish jumps in a pond leaving no trace,
I love my dream of a forest serene.
I dreamed a dream of a magical place;
it was an enchanted forest dark green.
I love my dream of a forest serene,
and within the trees waits my childhood horse;
last time I saw Razzle I was sixteen,
I let go of all that's happened between,
and embrace with love this unfolding scene,
my sweet horse is soft and in places coarse.
I love my dream of a forest serene;
and within the trees waits my childhood horse.
My sweet horse is soft and in places coarse,
and we are soaring in and out of trees;
I am letting go of all my remorse,
and music is playing from some far source,
I stand in a meadow with a wind force,
and weeping sad tears I fall to my knees.
My sweet horse is soft and in places coarse;
and we are soaring in and out of trees.

First Place
I once
dreamed a dream
that made my soul dance
singing loved ones into my spirit world
Entering my essence in gentlest of ways,
enlightening my heart with their truths and their love.
an ethereal mystical magical dream that uplifted and cherished me.
One of my most memorable soul people returned to apologize
I gladly embraced her, she was glittering, bright light, but I knew her.
My soul knew her. I told her I forgave her of course.
The next arrived to assured me that I could not have stopped her from
Taking her life; it was hers to take, not mine to protect.
She consoled and soothed me.
Her essence was a reminder that even suicides are
nurtured and protected in heaven.
My heart was enraptured to see my third visitor in this visitation dream.
She had been so confused and unwell in the end; decrepit even.
I had never known her this young.
She was gorgeous. Thrilled to see me as I was to see her.
A person who had always preached I should be proud of myself,
and live my truth,
she gave me a heads up.
She has been watching and she is proud of me.
Best dream ever.
It has surpassed all of my other wonderful dreams.
One of three of my most blissful spirit-inspired dreams.

I have lived a hundred different lives -
Each as different as water is to stone.
I have dreamed a few far-away dreams
To discover that they were mine alone.
I have felt at times a trace of love
But was shown again that theirs was untrue.
I have often tried to bury the past
To find that it rarely stays inhumed.
I gave life to undeserving powers
But I was too late in retaking it.
I have seen the glory of success
But it was not my own to celebrate.
I have thrown my rage at the hailstorm
Then retreated quickly to a burrow.
I have been both with means and in lack
But always grateful for a swift breakthrough.
I have considered the centuries
And found an abode within the present.
I have counted my former hours
And scry the future for what might be left.
Go now heartless one, its a time to say goodbye.
Together we danced to the music of the night,
but now the sound of music brings tears to the eye.
I could have danced all night, forever held you tight.
Together we danced to the music of the night.
I dreamed a dream where you said to my heart "I do."
I could have danced all night, forever held you tight.
Now any dream will do that does not include you.
I dreamed a dream where you said to my heart "I do,"
You said: "Its an impossible dream, forget those."
Now any dream will do that does not include you.
In time, each memory dies like a wilted rose.
You said: "Its an impossible dream, forget those."
Said: "If ever I would leave you, not to be sad."
In time, each memory dies like a wilted rose,
as seasons of love balance between good and bad.
Said: "If ever I would leave you, not to be sad;
your soul was born defying gravity - be strong."
As seasons of love balance between good and bad,
my heart believes somewhere someone sings my soul's song.
Your soul was born defying gravity - be strong,
but now the sound of music brings tears to the eye.
My heart believes somewhere someone sings my soul's song.
Go now heartless one, its a time to say goodbye.
