Beyond The Realm of Dreams

When bounds of logic stretch

Beyond conscious belief

 

When even within dreams

The possibility of life together is far...

Far from the realm of reality

 

What more then

Is there but to dream

 

Within the realm of dreams

Hand in hand

We walk the flower dotted

Grassy field

 

Within the realm of dreams

Hand in hand

Barefoot

We stroll the warm sand

Rock strewn beach

 

Beyond the realm of dreams

Where distance in time and space

And obligation are impossible

To overcome

 

Within the realm of dreams

What more then is there

But to dream

The dream of sleeping

Your head upon my shoulder

The breath you breathe

Warm upon my ear

 

Who then can foretell or prompt

Or dismiss a dream

 

To awaken with a sad heart

And a longing within your soul.

 

Who then can foretell or prompt

Or dismiss the slumbering thoughts

That come at night

That bring sighs of longing

Upon awakening,

Or the tears that form...

 

Beyond the realm of dreams

Always have sweet thoughts, and then you will have sweet dreams. Oh, who can tell us that our dreams are not actually our real life? We are all programmed to think that our awakened hours are our reality, but no one can prove that. We just only assume it is.

Such a tender rendering from someone ...
past the age of consent. Well done.

Yes, for those of us who have lost, we have our dreams of what could have been. A very thoughtful and interesting poem.

I couldn't help think of Roy Orbison and his poignant song, Dreams. "In dreams, I walk with you. In dreams, I talk with you. In dreams, ohhhh dreams… Beautiful dreams."
