Dreaming
I dreamt of being on a cloud
Dancing and laughing gaily out loud
For I felt so very light and free
Free of life's mediocrity
In my dream I was deeply in love
Not the kind that kids dream of
But real and rich, well worth the fare
Such a love is extremely rare
I dreamt of circus's and of clowns
Equated them to life's ups and downs
For joy in life is sometimes fleeting
Unpredictable in its next meeting
I saw my childhood of ribbons and bows
Ballet slippers with rose dipped toes
Round and round my dream did swirl
From old age to being an innocent girl
Some was future, some was past
The dream did a very long time last
I saw what I wished would come to be
Yet I saw what was, with great clarity
For such is life, the source of dreams
An escape, a wish, the in betweens
To search, to hope, to see anew
Wrapped inside a dreams yearning view
I opened my eyes at very long last
The dream now over, its spell well cast
When I realized that all I had seen
Didn't have to remain just a dream
For we can all build castles in the sand
Seek until we find the very right man
Dance upon a billowy cloud at night
Allow our spirit to soar and take flight
Yes that is our gift set free
Imagination and its wish to be
We may not understand the world at best
Our ability to enjoy our biggest quest
