Dreams Poem by Clara Potter Soloman

I close my eyes
the moon is shining brightly through my window
I enter a world of dreams
each one with you at its center

Nightmares often shake my peaceful sleep
nightmares of you
of you gone
for me to never see again

My dreams of you feel so real
though I know they are not
I can feel your arms around me
I can feel your fingers intwined with mine

Flash after flash of shear delight
rush through my mind, like a tidal wave
I hear your voice singing its beautiful song
Though you think nobody is listening I hear all of your sweet words

The golden sun reaches my eyes, as blue as the sky
I open them and I am showered with the beautiful morning light
I think back to all of my dreams of you
A sweet smile comes across my face

In only a few short minutes
I will see your face
though I will not expeerience the love
I did in my dreamland

But today is a new day
a new day full of the tears I cry for you
and when I close my eyes at the end of sunlight's shine
I will enter a land of sweet dreams

With you at the center of them all.
