Last Night I Dreamed


Last night I dreamed.
Not something I do often,
Not something I could really understand.
It was strange, the images haunting,
The feelings oh so real.
Last night I dreamed.
Last night I dreamed.
I was in a setting unfamiliar,
With people I seemed to be
Only vaguely acquainted.
Some I seemed to have feelings for,
While others I barely knew.
Last night I dreamed.
Last night I dreamed.
I said my goodbyes,
Some were more poignant
Than others. Some had
No emotion at all.
Some brought tears and fears,
And some seemed
To bring relief.
Last night I dreamed.
Last night I dreamed.
I found myself traveling,
Following some distance star.
Seeking someone to help me understand it.
Trying to find the happiness that has eluded me.
The love that I have needed so desperately.
I arrived at my destination unannounced.
You were there waiting.
Last night I dreamed.

    I guess the last few lines of the poem says it all – someone was waiting there just for you.  Sometimes, that’s all we need.He said "I dreamed",some things seemedtoo surreal,an unfamiliar feel. . . . and after he spoke – I felt blessed.  Bro Ten – you did it again.  Peace.

    Your dream speaks to me as a returning to true self –secured within the oneness of self, flaws and all.  Beautiful.  Peace, Love & Together

    Thanks for stopping by my neighborhood and many more thanks for your kind words.
