Dream walk - by walkb99rhyme

You haven't found the right person if you can live with them, you've found the right person if you can't live without them. - Unknown

As my head slowly caresses the pillow

And I close my eyes to rest

There's a warm and tender feeling

Slipping from my consciousness

I am suddenly transformed

To a place quite strange to me

On the edges of reality

And the doorstep of fantasy

Though words are softly spoken

I do not hear a sound

There is clarity and an opaqueness

As my mind just drifts around

There is light and there is darkness

There is color and black and white

Visual images on my journey

Through this dream filled night

There are moments of passion

And sometimes fear or fright

When I suddenly awaken and look to take flight

So I think of something peaceful

And I slowly close my eyes

To return to my dream walk

To await my next surprise

I stroll through pleasantly through

Thoughts of passion feeling love without a face

On occasion those familiar to me meet in this special place

I find all my emotions can suddenly shift gears

In the midst of a dream reoccurring over the years

A fear of falling or a fall from grace

Suddenly awakened to a very different place

As my eyes slowly open to greet the brand new day

I put my dreams behind me and I will go my merry way...

To fall in love is easy, even to remain in it is not difficult; our human loneliness is cause enough. But it is a hard quest worth making to find a comrade through whose steady presence one becomes steadily the person one desires to be. - Anna Louise Strong
