A Dream Just a Dream
by John Herlihy
Sometimes a dream is just a dream,
All cloudy and misty, not plate clean.
Not a dream to fill our hours of slumber,
But dreams that raise puff clouds of wonder.
Just because a dream seems totally real,
Like a dream that our hearts quietly steal,
Doesn't mean the dream will finally come true ,
Like all those dreams that we forever knew.
Some dreams have breath to live forever,
On the horizon of our world to depart never.
Occasionally when fretful they come to mind,
To simmer and soothe with promises kind.
Still, give me a dream more than just a dream,
To shine down upon us as a tender moonbeam.

Others can be fearful and become a nightmare. My partner has those sometimes. I wake her to ask her what's happening and she tells me.
