In the world of dreams where there is a way around and beyond the lies and the last words and the loneliness that has turned me to stone, you come like water and smooth the rough places and quench this thirst I’ve lived with for so long. You flow through me. River of hope that you are, you search out all the pockets of promise then fill me with some elixir of sparkling second chance It is just a dream, but it is my dream and you are my hope.
My soul knows that much, and I can feel myself walking through this world as if it were a dream, as if you, my heart, my hope, would flow to me and water my life with love.

I enjoyed this. A little bit of light to brighten up my day.
Sounds like you have a heart that KNOWS where to find its source and its refreshing, Dawn. Keeping it watered and fleshily swollen means that it will eternally pump with hope and love - because that is its nature. A beautiful, ascendent rise of a poem that has eagles' and doves wings together! :)) Tender and nurturing, thank you. Kate xx
this poem is really beautiful, Dawn ... hope is not a dream unless we abandon it ... it the river of life that fills the streams of our desires ...

Dawn, this is an excellent poetic pleasing treasure, which I do believe easily illustrates the importance of never letting go of ones dreams and desires. As long as there is hope, life and love will continue to flourish. Thank you for sharing your wonderful work. It was a pleasure to read. Take care and be well.
Outstanding imagery. The depth of hope and the beauty of a fulfilling dream portrayed with poetic elegance. Thank you for sharing your talent. Sweet Dreams.
Good piece of writing, Dawn. While we can live without food for a while, the lack of water will kill us in a matter of hours. Great metaphoric reference.
Dawn, I agree with Eileen. This one is Outstanding! I could feel the arrid, parched desert of your heart and soul, that has longed...thirsted for that elixir of a second chance. And then to have that thirst quenched, and relief to come and flow like water to restore life, love, and promises fulfilled. sighhhhh. Love, Leah~
