Dreamer

I dream a lot

Like most of us

I’m listening for what is said

He speaks to me

 In dreams He does

With images in my head

While I’m awake

I hear him too

But in sleep I see instead

The message is not always clear

But my soul is always fed

He rids me of my pain

 Like an old skin that I shed

I can’t wait to hear what’s next

While sleeping in my bed

A silly little lymric

Time after time we all await for this special someone to appear and talk to us again. It happens occasionally, it's so special. This poem reminds me of these few dialogues I've had. I call them dialogues, because I believe we talk back, we listen and give answers ourselves. Magic dances and rains all around. Fantastic. I used to call it flying. It feels like flying, this poem knows how it is to fly. Love it. Only I'd like to add, that some characteristics in this poem feel unfinished, they're asking for completion (who might it actually be speaking to us? I feel that there might be times when we should be afraid of him (is it so?) and how can he speak when we're awake ;) But the beauty hides in the short and powerful message, yes. My questions are my questions ;)

Nothing silly about it at all. I'm not a rhymer myself, but you do a great job of it! "The message is not always clear but my soul is always fed." So true, and I think we've all experienced many of these "dreaming" moments when someone or something speaks to us in a way that only we can hear and gain anything from it. Maybe we are seeking something, maybe not. And what we hear or see may not even be what we were hoping for, but it is something, none the less.

I enjoyed this rhyme. How funny that dreams can seem so vivid. Perhaps we are able to focus on His message without all of the other outside disturbances while we are sleeping. Needless to say, He does come to me in dreams too. While Satan loves to attack in nightmarish form, God always seem to place a peace and serene dream into my mind to soothe the dark ones.

Nice write, keep up the good work.

This "silly little lymric" as you call it, is anything but silly. It flows nicely and makes for another excellent read. Never put your pen down, you are too talented. I like this one. =)

Raul, Stop putting your poems down, this isn't silly,
it's.... simply brilliant and wonderful...

This is the total Antithesis to Freudian explanation to dreams, Haha!! I like yours better. Not trying to explain the phenomena, thus keeping the sense of wonder that we human beings have about these amazing dreams.... I love the spirituality you've managed to involve in your poems. :) gives me the hope i need.

Oh this was cute! I can so relate to it too! Always looking forward to what visions the angels and God may bring to us in our sleep, and how they may portain to our everyday lives.

Great Poem!

I don't think this is silly at all, not by any means. I think you wrote something here that may be short in length but very long on words and meanings. I feel this is a very "hopefull" write. So many wish they could hear,see or speak to him but have trouble doing so. What a wonderful "dream" it would be to have your soul always fed and be rid of any pain. It makes me wish I could sleep better and more often and especially have such sweet blessed dreams. A wonderful piece you have shared with us Mr L., thank you so very much. ;)
