No, I have not forgotten this series of poems. I have stated that I was leaving this open for when I got inspiration for new poems. And I got inspiration for a new poem! Yay! Anyway, I hope you enjoy this one.
Dreaming
Dreaming
When one is shown to you
As pure and untouched
As in life
Dreaming
When those you love
Are with you
Without their fear or strife
Dreaming
Is when my mind takes me
To stand right by your side
To hold your hand
Through thick and thin
And never dare we hide
But dreams can turn to nightmares
Dark thoughts
that seek to hurt
Memories of strangled breath
And looks you gave to me
As you the ocean girt
Yet when I wake
You're with me
Sound asleep
Within our bed
Across from us there's grumbling
The crib no longer silent
It's then I know who woke me
Her calls echoing through my head
Dreams
They come to everyone
Young and old
Need not matter how
Yet they also leave with questions
No matter good or bad
And as I go to our baby's side
I wonder if I'm dreaming now.
