In My Dreams

I am asleep, but awakened

By a clouded purple haze

Deep within my memories.

 

Smelling the sweet fragrances

Aromas of beautiful vivid images

Roses and purple lilacs

Overwhelming all my senses

Aligned along a golden path.

 

A gate awaits for me,

Following an angelic voice

Leading me closer and closer

To my garden secretly guarded

By vines and trees,

And I only hold the key.

 

My imagination wanders more,

As I search and explore rivers

Of my thoughts watching the kois

And other critters scurrying around

In my world, created by my own mind.

 

She waits for me, in a glimmered reflection

Sitting atop a boulder, fit for her and me.

We speak of our thoughts and wants

As she describes her heavenly home

That I keep witnessing within my memories

'Neath the moonlit diamond skies.

 

She smiles in the most loving way

To reassure me that all will be alright

The sun begins to rise and morning arrives

As I am awakened once more,

Missing her smile and her warmth

That I can only have within my dream world.

Beautiful! It's wonderful to have those memories, even if it's only in your dreams. I love the imagery and the emotion.

Bad time comes in everyone's life. We need someone to give us strength mentally at that particular time. The most perfect person for that is someone's mother. Your poem gives a nice feeling. I liked it totally. Great write.
