I Live in a Book of Dreams

Perhaps, we are all just dreamers - O

I live in a book of dreams

It’s where I first saw her face

Sacred light in her deep river eyes

Sunrise scented sighs of summer

Where the wind was whispered wildness

She taught me to love the dark

Here the stars are held in deepest embrace

By the ebony night’s hush

And we journeyed on celestial illuminations

As everything was transformed

Even my name when it was on her lips

Became a prayer calling me home

She taught me that love is everlasting

And until you find it, you’re only dreaming

So perhaps, we are all just dreamers

Waiting to be awakened. 

 

Author's Note

“And when two such people encounter each other, and their eyes meet, the past and the future become unimportant. There is only that moment, and the incredible certainty that everything under the sun has been written by one hand only. It is the hand that evokes love, and creates a twin soul for every person in the world. Without such love, one's dreams would have no meaning.”
― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

That was very deep and romantic if i might say I enjoyed it very much the use of imagery was very clear and emotions expressed were drawing me in. Very lovley words that hold truthful meaning
I loved it very much.

[An owl on the moon]

Thank you so very much, Sangeetha! I appreciate your encouragement to me. :)

I always believe, at least within my belief, that my heart has slept for quite some time now, awaiting to be awaken, to feel alive, awaiting to be loved back as i give love... books or the words I've reads or watch some films, keeps me up in this game called life... somehow we all live in books, they make our dream alive... well done, my friend. love this.

[An owl on the moon]

Pax, oh my friend! Thank you so much. Wishing you the joy of this deep awakening into your world of true dreams. :)

Both Coelho's words and yours clarify the meaning and feel of eternal love. People scoff at the thought of it, think it's an impossibility, that too many human frailties and flaws ruin such a depth of emotion. But, who knows, not me, not you, maybe when two people meet ' .. Sunrise scented sighs of summer - -Where the wind was whispered wildness .. ' there's a feeling that never can or does disappear.

As always the flow of your words is beautiful.

Sitting here contemplating your wondrous words, Emma. Thank you. Yes, too often the world seems to crash all around us, tries to taint our perspectives on love and life. Yet somehow there is a fragment of me that believes the ancient stories and the mystic dreams. And I find myself wishing you so many dreams to come true in your new week.

[Miss Owl]

So very beautiful and romantic. Maybe all that we do until we reach that moment was preparing us for said moment. When we awaken and when we really truly love. A very inspiring breathtaking poem.

[An owl on the moon]

Miss Owl, I so appreciate your kindness. Yes, I know that somehow, someday I will awaken and be home.

[Miss Owl]

Yes, we all shall.

[Ghost of Jupiter]

It is so encouraging to read your love poems .... The dark half of me who chokes the romantic side, isn't sure love is real... But reading your poetry makes me believe again. Such beautiful words and a beautiful heart that spilled upon the page. Xo

Kalypso, sweet nymph of Ogygia, always a pleasure to have you visit my humble island. Love is there, so often just beyond our reach, waiting to awaken us into its everlasting dream.

[Lily Finch]

So lovely delightful dream book...

[An owl on the moon]

Lily, I truly appreciate you stopping here to lift the dreams.

[Lily Finch]

:).. My pleasure...:)

Nothing wrong with being a dreamer, Craig. Your words are tender and gentle and filled with sweet romance. When someone says your name and it suddenly sounds like a song, more melodious, it is the real thing. I especially liked the celestial references in this one. Lydi**

[An owl on the moon]

Thank you, dear Lydi. Always a joy to have you by. Yes, sometimes the dreams come to prepare us for our deeper awakening.
