I Dream Poem by Wilfred Mellers

I Dream



I Dream

Dream of a better world where people would see each other as nothing more than people of a different shade of gray.
I dream of all my problems crumbling in my hands and never uttering another sound. I dream of love renewed, no more forsaken the day of my fulfillment. I dream of blue skies and flowers in a field of hope and no more despair. I dream of moonlit nights where the smell of jasmine permeates the air with its sweet aroma. I dream of being in love with that one person who takes my breath away. I dream of angels dancing in candlelight.

I dream of naked waterfalls that drench my soul and ease my pain. I dream of an earthly fulfillment that no one has ever imagined before. I dream of paradise lost and never found. I dream of turquoise seas surrounding my unadorned body. I dream of peace no longer, the beast devouring the children of the West. I dream of calmer seas that no longer rock the boat of tranquility.

I dream of you and me forever. I dream no more of the lonely nights of my salvation. I dream of happiness once more in my enlightened soul. I dream of no more shadows haunting me as I slumber. I dream no more of my weary eyes of sadness abound. I dream crying the day cometh the dawn no more. I dream of walking on the beach with the one I love hand in hand.
I dream of midnight caressing while the sun comes up.
I dream of what could have been, what could be, and what has gone.

I dream of not forsaking my sanity to the darkness of my emotions. I dream of a place where I can lounge in my redolence roses. I dream of being less conscious of the world that holds me back. I dream of no more waking hours consumed by society at large.

I dream the dream of romantics no longer uttering their voices aloud. I am a dreamer, and for this, I know well. Without our dreamers, what would this world be? As empty as the heart that knows no love. As dark as the night that knows no stars. I think, so therefore, I must have feelings. I live, so there I must be alive. I sleep, so there I must be a dreamer. Dream on, and let the night bring you to places in the sun.

I dream because I am alive, and do foster dreams in order that others might live. Maybe I am dreaming of lending support to your dreams...

You have some great ideas but for me I was finding myself a little bored. I will give you a 6 because it needs improvement on drawing me into the poem, but I did like it. ~Marshall Peter Cline II
