When I Dream





















I dream of
Spring gardens dancing with poppies and daisies.
Of days in a row missing tears and empty echoes.

I dream of
Lazy summer days, ice cubes, sliced lemons and honey.
Of laughing between kisses and tag with a garden hose.

I dream of
Autumn trails fire-painted from the earth to the sky.
Of the sureness of your hand in mine, mine in yours.

I dream of
Winter crisp smoke rising from chimneys on rooftops.
Of the delicious indulgence of knowing your smile.

Shoot. My dreams are just plain unwriteable. They usually involve strange locations and versions of my mom telling me "that's not right".

Or something.

Joy - I have a feeling you and I have a lot in common.

Ed - You are my very sweet romantic friend.

Zoomster - I highly recommend daydreaming for dreams such as these. My night dreams tend to be much less pleasant.

I'm not sweet; I'm voracious! But that was a nice piece of poetry.

Al - ... and that's probably all any of us care to know about that.

Ron - I happen to think you're sweet ... just in a sort of gruff, slightly twisted, interesting way.

Sumeeta - I'm glad you found something in the words.

AC - Where would we be without our hopeful meditations?
