Dreams
I dream dreams of beautiful things, 
things that I love to see and feel. 
I dream of waterfalls 
and see the sparkle of sunlight through the water 
that from its radiant color forms a rainbow 
and hear the rush of wind as it falls far below. 
I think of a flower 
and dream of the perfect nature of a petal, 
the sprinkling of color so perfectly settled.. 
uplifting in its nature. 
I see birds soaring in the sky 
and dream of their soft call as they seek 
another from far away. 
I dream of one who loves me 
as deeply as I love her 
and dream of her touch on my bare skin 
and feel the warm caress of parted lips. 
I dream of a baby sleeping quietly in its bed 
and see the faint smile on its face 
as it dreams likewise of butterflies 
skipping across cloudless skies. 
I think of children, and dream 
of their running across a field 
and hear them arguing over who 
was the fastest of them all. 
It's been written that we can dream 
but, not let dreams become our master. 
I am enslaved to my dreams... 
shameless and unafraid, 
I dream dreams and bow 
to my master.
