Vintage Dreams

Vintage Dreams
waking up kicking and screaming thinking i am drowning and swallowed by the sea;
sunlight, opened up my eyes assuring me, the nightmare is over atleast for the time being, and a beautiful day awaits my presence;
as the tears stream down my face, i sat there holding a cup of coffee, reconstructing the nightmare that seems to plague me every night;
armed with a new resolve to chase away this nightmare, i settled down among the feathery grass and inbetween the beautiful yellow flowers;
as thoughts of wondorous moments, sneaked into my daydreams, basking in the rays of sunshine, i hoped that life and time would stand still;
from in a dream she calls to me, whispering my name asking me to trust in her, and promising no games;
as the sounds of thunder shook the sky I sit here watching the clouds roll by reminding myself yet again, there is no time for lies;
wandering across the universe, living through past mistakes as the winds of change blow hard everything fades away for good;
as i quietly slip my hand into yours and we watch the night drape over us i am in heaven with you in this nostalgic rose-tinted dream; - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - some lines are not mine. and some lines might have multiple meanings depending on how one reads it. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -  Dreams pass into the reality of action. From the actions stems the dream again; and this interdependence produces the highest form of living. - Anais Nin
To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe. - Anatole France
Without leaps of imagination, or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning. - Gloria Steinem
Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world. - Harriet Tubman
I think we dream so we don't have to be apart so long. If we're in each others dreams, we can be together all the time. - Hobbes - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
