Play in your dreams tonight
or so you suggest
to those who are willing to
try the impossible
of sleep with a dream.
What of the nightmares that
so possess my mind
that fight with my world
to show that I am not
fighting for a job
or trying to wait on that last table.
What about the memories
that only come in sleep
to make the days
even worse than those before,
to darken the morning hours before dawn.
The dreams for all are not
majestic nor to desire.
They are for the darker side
of your mind
always coming out
even when not invited.
I really enjoyed this – the darker side of dreams. Though they can be a haven or fanciful, they often scare us or are too real to be enjoyed.

Christine wrote a very excellent response to my poem today about maybe not wanting to play in dreams. Check it out!
