Poetry Time: In Amidst A Dream

Hello once again everyone, how you are all doing? I thought I would share another poem. I know it is has been a few days, but it was a busy weekend. This poem was written back when my husband and I were in a long distance relationship. Pretty much the first 6 years of our relationship was that way, with a couple visits in between. Then in 2012 we got married and the rest is history. Would love to know what you all think of the poem, as always! In Amidst A Dream: I hear your voice calling out my name In midst a dream I look to the horizon, and see your silhouette, Running in my direction, Opened arms welcoming loves return How long have I waited, In hope that our hearts would find a home together again It’s sweet serendipity to hold how I feel to the depths of my soul, Knowing you feel the same Sometimes dreams can seem better than reality, but when I am with you, Reality is all of my dreams coming true and when I wake from a deep slumber, All my dreams continue Unlike the dreams that end When eyes open

@MommyOfEli2013 Aww, I don't know that I ever read this one before, and knowing our longing to be together face to face again inspired it is beautiful. Love you, Precious.

I love this. Amidst is a great word. Dreams can be the most wonderful place to be when reality sucks, as it often does. I can’t remember having a dream for many a year now.

Well I was better with words when I wrote this back in the day. But I suppose that they can...I see family that have passed on, etc in my dreams sometimes... Sorry to hear that. I have many dreams at night but forget most once I wake up.
