Soft hum dissolves into hypnotised air;
That surrounds the sleeping angel.
Sweetened breaths travel the nasal freeway;
As the hum transforms into silent beats.
A night annouces its arrival somewhere;
As the dark is chased away by a divine lamp.
Tender steps begin an unknown journey;
Through the well lit streets of heart.
A fountain breaks free to kiss the air;
Gleaming droplets smile in unseen cradle.
New found thoughts travel up; the heart
begins to dance on rhythm of the beats.
Thoughts cascade, patches of green appear; mind travels faster than light, closed eyes visualize what life can't bestow. Cracked window frame and creaking bed await as always.

yeah, sometimes the edges are more fascinating and draw our attention...
Wow, you have the gift of allowing others to see what you have seen. Wonderful.
Hi Nukunj - 'Dream dream dream - all i have to do is dream! ' This si another lovely thought provoking poem. V 1. When I observe my children and grandchildren asleep they always looked angelic and one could only speculate on their dreams - they had them - but could never remember the details in the morning. Thats how 'Sweet Dreams' should be ephemeral - real enough to ameliorate the sweetness of a child's sleep but transient enough to be forgotten in the morning. In my experience only neglected - abused and frightened children have nightmares! My children and gchildren never have them! ! V 2. The sounds of the night are everywhere - lmaps are lit - dreamtime begins. 'Tender steps begin an unknown journey - through the well lit streets of heart'. V 3. A lovely description of a child's dreamtime - 'The heart begins to dance on rhythm of the beats'. V 4. We can enjoy our children's dreamtime - but we must get to bed to strengthen us for the vicissitudes of the morrow. 'Closed eyes visualise what life can't bestow and creaking bed awaits as always'. A lovely poem stirring many memories in many of our minds. I score it a MAX. Yours in Poetry - JOHN.

A fountain breaks free to kiss the air; Gleaming droplets smile in unseen cradle. New found thoughts travel up; the heart begins to dance on rhythm of the beats. You swept me away into your dreams! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! -10 love anjali
