Lost in a dream

To be lost in a dream and see everyone you knew in your life

I dream a dream so often now,

I see Mum and Dad and everyone I knew

Like looking through a mirror, the sky is blue

The grass is green, is it winter or spring?

Lost in a dream, I see children playing

Singing songs, am I home?

Everyone is there, Oh! how I missed the times

As I walk down the street, I feel it's good to see home 

They'll all come to meet me, following me home

Home is part of my dream, the home is still there

Hidden among the garden of roses

The old Cloths line where I used to swing, I floated above

They all came to meet me, following me home

I dream a dream so often now,

I see Mum and Dad and everyone I knew

Like looking through a mirror, the sky is blue

The grass is green, is it winter or spring?

Oh! my dreams are so vivid

I awake to my surroundings

Mirrored dreams remind me where I am

Arm in arm I walk a lonely road

I am not alone, yet I wonder

Will I ever see those faces again

In winter or spring

Yes! they all came to meet me

And followed me home

I sat among the roses

Floated above the cloths line

Is it winter or spring? when I arrived

I dreamed the impossible dream

Like looking through a mirror, the sky is blue

The grass is green and the roses bloom all year round

Beautiful, sounds like getting to Heaven and finding all of those who went on before you. Valentine

Thank you, yes, I wrote that at a stage in my life where I was lost in life, and not at all well. I was sick for a long time and recovering now in a different place in my life.

we dream and sometimes we connect on a level we cannot explain but the feelings resonate beautifully!

we can always`s go home,back in time if only through the portals of our mind
we see every one as clear as day,hear their laughter and watch the children play
if not for dreams where would we be

it reads like a very pleasant dream ... i hope it might be like that when i die .. i have dreams of loved ones who have passed over ... but they few among all the dreams i have had ..but oh so welcomed .. i have never thought of all the people i know or known to be guardians to my own passing .. a comforting thought maybe! .. must examine my conscience to be sure i have asked forgiveness from those i was not so nice to .. ;)
