Night Time Journeys

Night Time Journeys

A Poem by Kathy Van Kurin
"

Life lived in dreams while our heads caress our pillows and we are cloaked in blankets and night darkness. Will we carry our dreams into day light?

"





Night time journeys

 


 Within night vision flight


Dreams are such a fascinating place.


Oh the tenderness and light!


For in our journeys of sleep


 Who will we meet?


We never know where we will go.


Lost times somehow made right


To come upon lost ones


May we all find rest for our feet.


Hearts are given a place to flow.


Past moments coalesce aright.


Dark to shadow mysterious face


Hope’s solution carries the kite.


Life color in shadow


Spirited to the heights.

My dreams are somewhat frustrating. Either they are nonsensical, or are lost within ten minutes after arising in the AM. My wife, on the other hand, enjoys productions that would make Cecil B. DeMille envious. I think she may be smoking something behind my back.

Just loved your poem re dreams
Last few years I was getting nightmares waking up screaming thank God haven’t had many this year
My dreams at moment are taking me to another realm sometimes with very familiar strangers that feel like I e been there lived with them in my long long other life maybe
I wake up and try to grasp why where who only to reach for my coffee In next half hour or less and I’ve forgot who what where ?
Other times I dream of my immediate family partner my kids and some deceased rellies mum sister father mainly
These are my favourites xx
Sleep well Kathy and loved your poem

journeys indeed. thoreau said that, "Dreams are the touchstones of our character." fascinating subject. another world in deep slumber unlocking doors. on the infrequent occasions that i have one, i wake up and try to remember every detail of them but cannot, try as i may. i enjoy them as long as not a nightmare. i love the last three lines ... :)

I dream too much and that's the trouble with people like me who write with their left hands or keep, like a child, a collection of toy dolls. But there is no part of poetry that lends itself to either disaster or disbelief. You can look at the dolls faces all day long but you have to make them talk to each other. Always keeping in mind that their dreams are your dreams. And although their thoughts are their own the anthropic principle must be employed. That is the universe must have properties that make inevitable the existence of intelligence life. It simply must!....dana

Dreams are always strange.
The horror dreams are actually kind thoughts, yet the Pleasant dreams can have all sorts of dark warnings.
You've probably seen it in your dogs through the years, the state they get into when they dream.
There must be something in dreams we're just not seeing, even if it's an outlet for brain activity.

Good morning Kathy. I seldom dream of if I do never recall them.
When mum passed last year, for a few weeks after, I had many dreams about her, my life growing up, but since have had very few.
Perhaps I should eat cheese just before retiring !!

It's said that dreams are the previous day;s way of ridding the mind - if it ever can, of business unattended. Maybe it is, maybe its distortions and muddles of nerve endings or erratic ticks, only the expert can know what.which. What i do know is that your words have re.awaken moments, of my own experiences. how i see dreams as highlights or - the more negative of.. whatever. You've created a very enlightening piece of writing, and written it so very well. Thank you. Keep safe, my friend.
