Dreamless

When one struggles to find dreams in the night.

Night after night...

Dreams put up a fight

Refusing to appear

But, I never fear

Night after night...

I lay on my back

Waiting for dreams to attack

Always drifting away dreamless

Night after night...

Staring at my dark ceiling

Thinking endlessly of writing

Thinking endlessly of everything

Night after night...

Music in my ears

With waking thoughts of my fears

Dreams put up a fight

Night after night...

After midnight,

The possibility of dreams is tantalizing

As sleep takes me

Yet, I still wake dreamless...

Author's Note

Wrote this piece last night, because I find that I have lately been falling asleep late at night and receiving no dreams. It's kind of saddening.

A longing for dreams!!!

I like the simplicity and the innocent nature of this poem... I can feel how the poet endlessly waiting for her dreams to appear, which with the stress of daily life seems to lost... It flows very well Tessa and I can really understand the emotions through this write... We have all felt this way sometime in our life...

Sincerely

Thank you. I wrote this when I was struggling with dreams and it sort of flowed from me easily.

The most touching writings comes out when we are feeling them...

That is completely true though.
