Sometimes

A poem by Albert Freeman

sometimes i lay awake at night and wonder
my thoughts lay scattered as if to the winds
i think and i wonder
a fleeting dream of dreams as i wait
wanting, needing, hoping
a chance meeting, a smile, a touch
thoughts of dreams and dreams of thoughts
an image of you forming in my mind
your laughter, your smile, your beauty
reaching with my hands at such a vision
as if mists could form and bring you forth
eyes now closed, breath coming with ease
colors dancing in my mind
your hands reaching out, my hands moving forth
a fog of hope and awe swirling too and forth
a question, a hope a prayer on the tip of my tongue
ever closer our hands move forth
a completion of mind and body in the thoughts of a dream
a world in harmony and balance
and i open my eyes and i see my hands outward, but alone
and i think of the wonder and my thoughts focus with hope burning brightly
i lie in bed and smile in anticipation and close my eyes as sleep claims me

Albert, I really enjoyed how the piece focuses on the image of your affection,
as you focus on such before you fall asleep, as if offering you dreams, all that
a man is in goal, to dream, to wander destiny's infinite road, the way one
looks for answers, the main emphasize to this writing focuses on the captivating
effect of beauty and its ability effect the heart, to the point the emotions spill
into the dream world, all the thoughts that pour in before the mind wanders to
sleep, the meaning expresses hope and understanding, reflects your talent as well, mike
