Dream
a dream is what is not but is
though all the world is in a tiz
I enter into dream of day
and let my mind in there allay
all fears and worries, roiling strife
and cut through foggy seams of life
and I return much saner, for
my quiet time with secured door
reopening I am renewed
a world made fresh each leaf a’dewed
and I can see more clearly when
in dreams I’ve taken Peace again

such is the power of dream, drenching us iwht freshness.
ReplyDeleteAh, yes, drenching us with freshness!
Deletedaydreaming is a pleasurable occupation - whereas night dreams are usually insane.
ReplyDeleteThose night dreams are just weird! Daydreams are much more fun!
DeleteDay dreaming has always been a chief occupation of mine:) Nice poem.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I think everyone needs a daydream a day.
Delete"...foggy seams of life..." I like that! I love daydreaming. :)
ReplyDeleteSo nice to see you again, Chrys! Thanks for dropping by. I always like hearing from you.
DeleteThere is real power in that quiet time when dreams are renewed. Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteWe do all need that quiet renewal time - I think, anyway.
DeleteCongratulations on your book! So nice when dreams materialize. And yes those dreams of peace are so refreshing.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Peggy. It is nice to get some writing organized and in a format to share.
Deleteah yes the landscape of dreams has so much prospect
ReplyDeletemuch love...
Yes, dreams as a topic and the dreams themselves are multi-faceted.
DeleteI do like the idea of choosing to enter a dream during one's waking time. I think this is a good idea. Children often use their imagination to escape. Why not adults!
ReplyDeleteChildren shouldn't have all the fun!
DeleteDay dreaming is a great activity. As a teacher I often observed that some students were daydreaming.
ReplyDeleteTo harness the daydreams is the challenge.
DeleteDonna,
ReplyDeleteA dream can be a haven of escape from the ills surrounding our usual position in life...Even a brief daydream!!

And can enhance the good in life, too.
Delete"all fears and worries, roiling strife / and cut through foggy seams of life"...daydreaming is just that & healthy, healing and refreshing...
