Fading Dreams Poem by Nicole Henson

Fading Dreams



I dream another world

I see stars shining and a moon glimmering

casting a gentle light across my face



a world within our mind

it gives us an escape or sometimes

traps us within its doors



I walk along a winding path made of moistened soil and fallen leaves

its chilly in this world, close to snow

but only wind falls upon my face



I see many moonlit colors

dark shades of their sun filled brothers

this scene is beautiful



a dark shadow falls upon the path

a man.... a dark mysterious being

radiating danger and fear



I try to run in this dreaming state

but my attempts are futile

curse this dreaming walk! ! ! !



I stand motionless, frozen with fear

I think to myself why I will not talk

why wont I try to escape?



then as if a wind blew my thoughts

I enter the mans head

I see him staring at me....



I seem to be him, I am him

but who am I in this body

what do I want?



this dream fades.. and I slowly awake

I have some memory of that dream, but it slowly goes away

I get frustrated with its aloofness



Why do have I have to leave my dreams?

why can I never recall what they are about?

why do I have to be tortured with this?



I never seem to have nightmares...they are just eccentric

my true life is where my nightmares lie

haunting me when I do not sleep



my own paradise in my head will always go away

then one day ill dream eternally

for now I am stuck with these fading dreams
