Dreams

Oh.
  I see your eyes have closed,
   and you walk along one of my many paths.

Let me join you for awhile,
   subtly guiding you.

What should I show you?

Barely remembered moments?
   Some you will try to hold onto in the moment of awakening?

Maybe something a bit more tawdry,
  arousing,
    but making you toss in your shame?

No,
   not tonight.

I will give you a glimpse.
  A glimpse of something for which you have been searching.

Of course,
  I will take it away before you awake.

I can only show you dreams.

It is up to you to create the reality.

Author's Note

I didn't think about it at first, but this was most certainly inspired by a great writer, a Mr. Neil Gaiman. I love your work, Sir!

A nicely written piece, with a wonderful thought to ponder at the end. Create your reality from the dream.

Thank you, Jacob.

[Matching Socks]

Thank you Mr. Sandman. :)

[Jon Roggie]

You reminded me of the inspiration for this one. I had to stop and give credit.

[Matching Socks]

Neil Gaiman? He was the inspiration?

[Jon Roggie]

You obviously have not read any of his Sandman comics. Forget Dr. Who. Morpheus is the man!

[Matching Socks]

Haha! Ok, I get it now!

[Jon Roggie]

I feel bad now.

[Matching Socks]

Please, why? I'm a genius. I made a genius comment, so what if it was by accident.

[Jon Roggie]

I feel like I stumbled into another person's words. Looking at it, this is not the character he created. So, I guess I should relax.
