A Dream Within The Dream

A Dream Within The Dream
 

A 'dream within the dream' you say,
A place where I can flee,
Away from all the outside world,
A place for feeling free.
 

For dreams are places I can rest,
But one is not enough,
Its outer shell is very thin,
And I am not that tough.


A 'dream within the dream' you say,
And two in which to stay,
So when I wake and look around,
I'm still a dream away.


A dream to keep me safe and warm,
And two on which to build,
Another 'dream within the dream',
And many more fulfilled.


The 'dream within the dream' protects
Against the outer shell,
And it's the very inmost dream
Where I feel safe to dwell.


A 'dream within the dream' you say,
And many more within,
Until I've hidden in them all,
And not where they begin.


The deepest dream, with many more,
Surrounding high and low,
I take my refuge in the maze,
And dream far down below.
 

A 'dream within the dream' you say,
And dreams within those too,
And when those dreams have turned to dust,
I start the dream anew.

David Pekrul was born in New Westminster, B. C. Canada.

He wrote his first poem in February, 2004, as an Anniversary card for his wife, Linda. Being rather pleased by the results of his first attempt, he wrote a second one, then another and another. He soon realized that he was in love with words.

The pictures that his words paint may not always be pretty, but they are pictures worth viewing, for he writes about the world around him, whether they be things good, bad or otherwise. He also writes about family, nature, God and faith.

His first poetry book, "Parts Of The Sum Volume One" has just been published and can be found at http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/3145051

David makes his home in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies with his wife Linda and spoiled pup, Tiki.

Thanks, Lorrie.

I know I've been away quite some time. Just too busy to read or write for that matter. My writing has been rather sporatic, but I hope it will pick up.

Your poem is arresting. Having read it, I've been sitting here staring into space, lost in thought.

O, to daydream! I love daydreaming, if only I had more time to do it. But "staring into space, lost it thought" often turns into a poem, at least it does for me.

Thanks for reading and commenting.

Thanks,

I love dreaming. I look forward to it each night I go to sleep, and do the best I can to remember them in the morning.
