Word of the Week: Dreams

                     

Sweet Dreams
                               

In my dream, there is a staircase.

Leading up to the sun and warming rays.

There is an answer waiting there.

At the top of the stairs.

But it has not been reached.

Still to be revealed.

It will remain.

A sweet and soothing dream.

Awakening to peace and renewal.

There is hope to be found.

Gazing towards the light.

Hope that sustains on even the darkest days.

And weaves through the longest of nights.

In dreams we travel across time and space.

We draw near to those loved ones already passed.

They are there, always waiting.

Interacting with us in the ways still allowed to them.

And wonders to us, in turn.

Sometimes bringing them closer than even those left behind.

If only we remain open to their voices.

Fragile and fleeting, yet clear.

Sweet dreams.

Keep me moving towards the light.

Still my overworked heart.

Calm my mind from the pressures that overwhelm.

These too shall pass.

And again, I will journey forward.

Safely on my way.

The path, meant to be.

Not those of life’s detours.

Or roads best left behind.

       A "dreamy" poem I wrote a while back.

                     I thought it was a good choice to share with this "Word of the Week".                  

Wishing you a wonderful week, filled with happy day and night dreams!
