I Dreamt Of You Last Night
by Chris Sorrenti
Odd but delighted
that you should write
the day after I dreamt of you
and the two daughters
we had had
But not in this world
around 5 and 6 years old
young angels
with long flowing hair
and the starlight of galaxies
twinkling throughout
the delicate strands
Though I can’t remember their names
it was just that kind of dream
so pleasant to awaken from
and carry as a talisman
throughout another hectic
groundhog day
The four of us surrounded
in a halo of love
like a vivid memory
from a past life
or of one
that might lie ahead

| Posted by Alison McKenzie on 11/25/12 at 10:02 PM I wish I could tell you the number of times I've had this dream (or facsimile thereof). It's nice to know that others have it too. I LOVE that feeling on waking, that one of everything being right in that dreamtime world. |

Yet somewhere in the depths of my soul, I could NEVER forget the joy my kids gave me. IF I did nothing else right, I gave this world 3 incredible souls. Funny, in ALL my dreams, I am NOT handicapped- Maybe next time around? Quite excellent and thought provoking work. Thank you |
