Dream, Dreamers, Dream

A loving angel came to me in dreams.

She showed me life's not always what it seems

And brought me to a place where sweet dreams live.

She gave to me a gift that I now give . . .

A dreamer's dream.

 

She whispered, "Take my hand and I will lead you through

A place where only sweet dreams can come true.

Close your eyes and open up your heart,

For then this flight of dreams so sweet can start.

Dream, Dreamer, Dream."

 

She brought me through the darkness to the Light

Where colors wrapped around me, such delight,

A patchwork¹ quilt of beauty without seams²

Each color was a rainbow full of dreams,

Dreamer's dreams.

 

She led me through a hallway of pure sound

With doors flung³ open widely all around.

And from each room a song would gently play,

I wished with all my heart that I could stay

In this dreamer's dream.

 

But we drifted in the fragrance⁴ of the breeze

To savor⁵ all the flowers and the trees.

We tasted all of life that we could see

And felt it flow as one in harmony . . .

We dreamed this dreamer's dream.

 

Then my angel turned her eyes to me and said,

"You are the Keeper of these Dreams inside your head.

Find sweet dreamers who would dream of Love and Light,

These dreams will lead them safely through the night.

Help these dreamers dream."

 

And so I am the Keeper of this Dream, it's true,

But I offer all my dreams to each of you.

May their loving sweetness visit you each night

And fill your soul with Love and Warmth and Light.

Dream, Dreamers, Dream!
