Sweet Dreams
Oh, do not mourn,
is all your light weak,
it's only dreams,
which find you in the night
They do not stay
they fly away from you,
are shadows only
and when the day awakes,
only nice dreams,
which will remain
Thoughts are like driftwood in the sea,
they drift away from you,
and only some will stay,
and those remain
are coming quickly back

Wow, your poem leaves several thoughts in mind when read and one of those is that life isn't easy but that we should never give up hope and never take things for granted and stay in reality, too......... how blessed we are to read you here on this super on-line journal called Whispers!
