She Dreams

She sits and awaits

To be filled.

To see and taste

The dreams instilled.

 

Slumbering only in hope,

She allows herself to dream.

If only her home

Would be all she sees.

 

For as there is power in the unseen,

There is power in faith.

She feels her dreams cling

To her like a hot summer’s day.

 

She wrestles with the cold fact

That they may never came to fruition,

Knowing full well that the world isn’t lax.

Yet, she dreams, harboring ambition.

 

“Stay with me.”

She hears herself say.

For without dreams,

Where would she be today?

 

If never they come,

She will be content.

For they are hers and she has won,

If only she dreams.

Dreams are such a strong part of everyone's life...for, as you say, "without dreams where would we (she) be today?" Listen to popular music, fairly SWIMMING in the world of dreams, a lyrical component to so many poems, sets of song words...You take, in this, a sort of matter-of-fact definition of dreams and imbue it with value and strength, sets of values, all in the name of a sleepy or wide-awake thought. Very well done! take care...dan

Where would she be today? "

Without streams, there would be no direction and nothing to strive for. Another lovely write about inner strength and fortitude, two traits you have in spades.
