Dreams

Vivid imaginations and hazy visions come to me,

for when I sleep, I come to dream,

creating itself I am lost in a world of my own,

confusing yet subtle,

a new mystery unfolds.

I can not feel my feet or my weight,

though I am asleep,

I am wide awake,

the atmosphere is a quirky scene,

for nothing is as it seems.

What are these things?

These dreams,

they exist in my soul

and in my head,

I feel like I have ventured so far

without leaving my bed.

A new world filled with wonder,

or old memories that come to wander,

I see an old friend or my lover,

maybe new creatures and fantasies,

an eerie nightmare come to haunt me,

but still,

what are these dreams?

The plot thickens even more,

and my dreams tell a tale that has never been told,

every night a new experience comes over me,

as I lay fast asleep,

to these dreams.

What marvelous things,

fill me with emotion,

the endless specters of my mind,

a region where there is no track of time,

a secluded residence just for me,

sometimes I feel trapped,

and sometimes free.

Others I know come to visit me,

and we explore our chimeras that seem never ending,

or maybe a familiar stranger accompanies me on a journey,

and we continue to write a unique story.

Romance, mystery, adventure, horror and thrill,

only rarely do my dreams become bare and still.

My senses overwhelmed and tingling,

I always gain this feeling,

in my mind,

stirring crazy delusions,

creating many confusions,

but sometimes I can mold my own painting,

and paint a landscape,

a breathing shore that is constantly changing,

for my consciousness becomes enveloped in deception,

and it is confusing,

should I or not accept it?

Oh these dreams,

they are the human soul's mellow and silent songs,

and we sing the tune and hum along,

for what they may be,

no one may never see,

and they keep humanity questioning.

What are dreams?
