Dream on

A little poem about dreaming and believing in those dreams

Dream On

By Jack Ivey

 

Our dreams they come in patterns

Of night shade mysteries

In darkened rooms of full lit moons

On braided tapestries

 

Weaving through the questions

Flowing in our minds

Promises of what can be

Behind these shuttered blinds

 

Wondrous forms of fashion

Strange at times can be

Puzzles of a thousand pieces

Bound of destiny

 

Tied within our heart strings

Driving as the rain

Comfort of a precious sort

Enchantment to remain

 

Still we wait this moment

When our thoughts prepare

Scenic traits on different dates

Before our endless stare

 

So dream on fellow wanderer

Take this ship a’ flight

For somewhere true, dreams wait for you

To fall asleep tonight

hi jack. i am glad we are on ground, so i can say these words without punishment from an air marshal...
dreams...such an indescribable, unfathomable phenomena we as human beings can describe, yet cannot explain.
so what we do? we try!
loved this piece, which i purposefully selected as your first(?) and offer you my take here, in my blog:

[Ken Simm.]

Now I knew I was going to like this and I did. Written in a dreamlike way that works so well.

[Jack...]

Thanks so much Ken. I wanted to add a line about levitating cats, but it had been used already. :)

[Ken Simm.]

Oh? where was that then?:)

[Jack...]

Right next to the butter in the cold foods aisle.

[Ken Simm.]

Wondered why there were all those splatted cats. Clean up in aisle 4.

I hardly ever remember my dreams and when I do they are random - but this makes me wish for the dreams I had as a child. A wonderful write.

[Jack...]

Thank you so much Tammy

[Glen Yumang Manese]

You give this a melancholy feel within the lines... and inspire with the last take that dreams can carry you elsewhere... Thanks for sharing...

[Jack...]

Thank you so very much
