THE SEARCH WITHIN A DREAM

To reconnect with a lost dream that's stopped short upon awakening and hopefully to be continued the next night.

So sorry darling

The end has come

Our romance is fading

The day has begun.

But I'll try to find you 

Although you're hard to find

Located somewhere

In the back of my mind.

With my head to rest

I'll close my eyes

And I'll find our dream

Before all fades and dies.

For our nightly alliance

Is so enduring, we belong

I reach out to touch you

The feeling is that strong.

So I'll find that door

I've got the key

Just a matter of time

For you will see.

Then it will be 

Just you and me

And when I find you.....

We'll continue our play

A lover's dream

If only you would stay.

So its goodbye darling 

Just for now

Our love will continue

When I find you somehow.

Hi Andrew. this is it, isn't it. That bitter moment when the realization strikes!!! That sense of sorrow and loss that flows from our mind to our soul and takes up residence!!! Love the hope expressed here. Owning the key is one thing, having the courage to use, is a whole different matter!!! decision are not easy when it comes to matters of the heart and you have expressed this so well, despite hiding the emotion between your words. Love this, you have certainly captured that emotion, alf

"THE SEARCH WITHIN A DREAM"
Andrew Mitchell,
Dreams. To me this innate ability to live a whole other life while oblivious to the real one is miraculous!
We all have this time where we work through the unsolved problems, the unsettling experiences and unrealized goals and desires. Is this actually part of how God helps us to live when we are awake? Does He even speak to us while asleep?
Love is a complex area with all people and I am not surprised that it is a theme here within your poem. You put this writing together in really clever way. It is like a letter to this lady you love or love in the reality of your beautiful dream. Great poem!
blessings,
Kathy

I always love you work

You have fallen in love with the Succubus it seems, who abandons you upon awakening but part of you remembers, she lingers in the back if your mind.
Or perhaps it is the other way around, you abandon her. Then she wriggles back into your awareness as you succumb to sleep.
Strange in all the delicious ways, I love this one.

[andrew mitchell]

Thank you Amy for your thoughts, twas only I who abandons for the real world awakens me till the next sleep I return!

Beautiful. We have all had those dreams that were so good then we wake up in and they disappear but leave their mark, leave us wanting more and we wish we could catch it again! Another great write. Nicely put my friend.
