Dreams
By: Langston Hughes
Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow
I was a dream lost in reality
In the world no one cared of my quality
I endured through a mind of a schemer
Wouldn’t you close your eyes and be my dreamer?
I’d be your doorway to your fourth dimension
To explore the world within you was my intention
It’s a void that you filled with emptiness
But there I existed to give you my tenderness
When you close your eyes to shut out the world
In your mind a dreamscape twisted and twirled
You kept me alive to share with me your feelings
So when you were hurt, I’d give you my healings
Secret, secret, I knew I was all you got!
'Cause “Your lips tell lies, but your eyes tell not”
Enclose your vision to conceal me from actuality
Before I perished in the world of cruelty
Don’t! Don’t open your eyes and let them see me
Or I’ll be lost in the world of misery!..
Look deep inside where your soul was reflected
Did you not see your dream being neglected?
Or did you sail yourself beyond my realm
While controlling your life with a broken helm?
You had the lust for fruits and the thirst for wine
I had naught but you as a dreamer of mine
To catch the wind you first must learn to fly
Go flying in your sleep, I wouldn’t pass you by
Timeless in space you had me for a friend
Soaring in the night that I wished never end
Searching, reaching the impossible goal
Why not ask for the inner strength of your soul?
From the imagination of a dreamer
Created me, the image in your mirror
Nurture me! I was for you to foster
Abandoned me not and you would prosper
I wouldn’t fade away and leave you disarrayed
Bewildered, shattered, and so dismayed
After all, you were I, and I was you
A spirit and a dream were one, not two…
When all hopes die you find yourself lost
Eyelids fall upon watery gloss
Promises make the world your second skin
To strip them away is to step out of sin
Six invisible walls crowd your view
To make solitution a home for you
Over the sacred ground of dreams you rake
To transcend the barrier your mind I take
Cotton burial for crystal droplets
Salty rain rests in the place where time forgets
Untouchable by harms your untold tears
Unreachable by life’s unfolding fears
Your voice is drowned in this pool of sadness
As dreams are to others always soundless
To tell the tale of your untold tears
Seek the master of music to all ears
He lives in the center of light
Radiating cosmic colors of white
To purify your soul of all sorrows
Make anguish of today your smile of tomorrow …
dream a dream
[i]To dream a dream one must open their mind, see the things that lie deep inside. The things we hide can come to haunt us, but the dream we dream can also show us. Terror can grip you while you dream, your greatest fears may make you believe, but undertand that they are only dreams but should they be taken likely? What is a dream are they nothing, or do they tell us something, we dont want to see. How we feel or how we act ,the truth that what we dont want to faced, showed by our own self. For some dreams are nothing more then a thing, a way to escape reality, a way to releive our daily stress and nothing more then that. But others beleive that dreams are a gift, a can warn us of danger ahead. They beleive that within our dreams lie the secret we wish to hide, and in our mind the wish to releive the guilt that be within.
Forshadowing or escaping our live, nothing more then what meats our eyes, now and then everynight we may lose our sleep in a restless night. Even though we may retaine some angry of that night, a quick night sleep and a little dream, can soothe the soul and ease the mind of a troublsome night.
Now relax and dream a dream, a dream about your lost love or a fogotten time, relax now and let your mind at ease, for there are worries in your dream, only ones that you mind make’s. Sleep now and dream a dream, dream for you and dream for me…[/i]
Wow, I really like your poems.
If you know, could you please tell me who wrote them?

A Dream Within A Dream
by EDGAR ALLAN POE
Take this kiss upon the browl
And, inparting from you now,
Thus much let me avow:
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.
I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand-
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep-while I weep!
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream
He has one more called “Dreams” I might right it later it is pretty long.
12 dream quatrains
I let you dream for forty seconds,
in that nightmare you have each week.
Then I woke you with a quiet touch,
and wished all rescues could be that meek.
When I look at constellations,
I can see what your dreams are.
You’ll have one million thoughts a month,
but you only get five stars.
There’s a fuse in life every ten feet,
they are sown for a harvest of dreams.
And oh how easy these lessons light,
by that candle of thought made of means.
To see a strife from orbit,
that’s what dreams are for.
Let no moment hide it’s beauty,
so minds shall always soar.
A man’s thoughts are like a mountain,
while on it he can just paint leaves.
But when he dreams he stands far from it,
and can paint what someone sees.
Build your mountain with every thought,
inspect each and every seed.
Then stand back 40 miles,
and see the shape your dream.
Dreams are only thinking,
like sand dunes are just sand.
Walk among them changing,
alone so the search is grand.
The mind is made of fractals,
tips and dreams are fractured hope.
For time to change direction,
rhyme must know it’s broke.
Now I understand poker,
to aim one must not stray.
To make the sound of thunder,
some dreams must be thrown away.
It’s all about the word impedance,
do you dream of that.
Like a dance on figure skates,
to stop you they react.
Dream evil caused by temperature,
and niceness caused by cool.
And all night long dream thermostats,
were endless wars of rule.
Argue with someone for what they do,
or direction their words might lean.
My favorite armament though has no who,
they can’t argue with what you dream.
Let me raise a toast to artists,
dreams and atoms are just lots of dots.
With the only way to be or see things,
they connect the dots with thoughts.

i am a dream
i see the light but i live in the darkness
i fly among the stars and i hover over the earth
i spin backwards as i move forwards
i am a dream
I wonder why my brain made this

For the Dream of Peace
By: Thomas J. Segel
The sky so blue, the sea so green
A more lovely sight is seldom seen
The wind blows and carries my mind away
To a distant land, and another day
I see a village by the shore
A thatch-roofed hut and an open door
The nets are strung on a beam outside
They are being sewn with strings of hide
I can hear the pounding drum
Calling in each and every one
From their work and from their play
For this was a special day
The yield of the sea had been kind
There was food for all to find
And offered for a special feast
To ride the wind, to tame the beast
All who came did dance and eat
Some sat down by the Master’s feet
To listen to the words he spoke
Within their hearts the silence broke
I am here to reveal to you
The causes of the things you do
To plant within your heart a seed
To fill even your deepest need
To share the mystery of love
To show you dreams from up above
To lift your heart and make you whole
To begin the stirring of your soul
Be still and know the silence now
A small still voice will tell you how
To kindle the fire that dwells within
Which is the place you must begin
In silence your soul will speak
Of the things that men do seek
Softly spoken and seldom heard
Comes the most enchanting word
I am who you are
Together we are a rising star
To shine above for all to see
To find who they must really be
The journey of your soul must start
In the essence of your heart
For it is that precious seed
That overpowers hate and greed
To build anew compassion’s fire
To make love your heart’s desire
Let your heart direct your course
Yielding to its tender force
Standing naked at love’s door
Cross the threshold with nothing more
For only love may enter in
Then from the heart flow out again
Filled with joy and filled with pain
The journey of your soul remains
A mystery in your conscious mind
Bound by space, locked in time
In love is found the key
To open up eternity
For love cannot be bound
Within it is the freedom found
To lift your heart and make you high
The answer to the question why
And to love what would you give
For it allows your soul to live
Asking nothing in return
Hoping every heart will learn
Love needs nothing but itself to grow
Once the heart is full, it overflows
To spill out across the skies
To open up the blinded eyes
To remind the heart of man
So that you may take a stand
And do all that must be done
For you are the only one
Who can make the change today
Within your heart you’ll find the way
Again he lifted high his voice
And said that peace must be the choice
Too long has war been on the land
Too long has man been killing man
What causes the killing need
That comes from fear and comes from greed
You have forgotten where you come from
The journey back is hard for some
To hear the calling of your soul
To remember the things you know
That have always been a part of you
It is part of the job at hand
To raise the consciousness of man
To stop the war that wages within
The only place you can begin
When peace is found one heart at a time
The nations will follow down the line
For when you realize you are your brother
You can no longer hurt one another
Peace will come from the inside out
Then no longer will you shout
Filled with hurt and filled with pain
For only peace will then remain
In passing time, all wounds will heal
And you will know then what is real
Peace may shape the destiny of man
Then once again rule the land
But it is you who must choose
Will humanity win or lose
The changes must start today
Within your heart you’ll find the way
The words I speak draw you near
It is the truth you long to hear
Truth is a gem among the coal
It is the food that feeds the soul
Forged again in passion’s fire
And becomes the soul’s desire
It is in truth that love can grow
It is in truth that peace we know
It is life and love you give
When within the truth you live
In truth awakening begins
In truth the light may enter in
May the light fill your soul
May the higher calling be your goal
By now many people had come
Brought by the pounding of the drum
To the Master they pressed near
He climbed a hill so all could hear
As he lifted up his hand
A stillness fell upon the land
You have all become my heart
More words to you will I impart
The deepness of the truth you feel
Bears witness to what is real
And what you know within your soul
Shows forth in the brightness of your being
When enlightened is the path you walk
Joy is found in the way you talk
What causes this enlightening
From what does this joy now spring
Again the trail will lead within
To the place you must begin
For only in silent thought
Is the power of creation caught
From there it is the light does flow
And in your heart you will know
The light is meant to share with all
And any who will hear the call
Knowing when the call is heard
That you will receive the word
The word is love, peace, truth, and joy
Found in the heart of girl and boy
As my gaze falls upon the sea
I know this joy is meant to be
Now others pay while I go free
For the doors are open to me
I behold the wonder of it all
And listen to my spirit call
In recent dreams and ancient time
Live eternal thoughts sublime
In the shadowed light I seek
The meaning of the words I speak
Found in the heart of all
Indwelling in the trees so tall
Heard in the muted breath
Intertwined in life and death
Reaching for the faded thing
Listening to freedom ring
And sound aloud for all mankind
Marking well for all who find
That simple peace within your heart
Again the place that you must start
So, beloved, take the chance
Join me in the sacred dance
Rise and let your spirit fly
Racing through the windswept sky
That you may touch the silver strand
Tied to us by God’s own hand
As the sun sets upon the shore
The knowledge of you heart will soar
Awake again in mystic dreams
The knowledge of eternal things
Found at the point of peace within
Again the place you must begin
And the truth that you do find
Must be shared with human kind
We stand in the temple of the sun
With no place for us to run
We must be at peace in our home
We will never be alone
All creation reaches out
It shows us without a doubt
That we will never cease to be
It is the same for you and me
Eternal dreams are now
In your heart you know how
Though we stand on the line
The wind blows the sand of time
From here and now to evermore
So together let’s step through the door
To make the world a better place
At this point in time and space
When you realize that we are one
The people, the planet, and the setting sun
Be then mindful of what you do
For what touches one touches all of you
To the Earth you must be kind
Learning well from what you find
In each treasure you behold
Is a sacred story told
Of awesome wonder, bold delight
The precious gift, the clearest sight
Is there for any who will see
And in the knowing you will be
Darkness settled on the land
In the torch light he did stand
The people hungered for his words
And cherished the treasures heard
Old and young, big and small
Silence was upon them all
The Master called a young one near
Then said to all that would hear
If you could look through this one’s eyes
You would see the truth and hear the cries
Of all of those yet to come
You would do what must be done
Your thoughts are of yesterday
But tomorrow’s child will lead the way
And follow him you must
If in love and peace you trust
We stand upon common ground
Together our lives are bound
By the one within us all
Hoping we will hear the call
Whispered from that timeless place
Found upon the child’s face
In the touch of a stranger’s hand
Compassion in a foreign land
The song that causes the heart to sing
The tenderness that love does bring
Helping the helpless child
The gentle spirit, meek and mild
Let this moment fill your soul
Listen to the things you know
Take another by the hand
Help someone to understand
What has been given, give away
Let us start a brand new day
It is you I treasure in my heart
What draws you here marks the start
Of changes in your world today
Within your heart you’ll find the way
The moon had risen in the sky
The people stood with a watchful eye
One said Master, tell us more
How may we pass through the door?
With his words he firmly said
From the darkness you were led
Now for you the time has come
To share the light with everyone
Let your highest thought be love
The kind that flows from up above
Let your clearest word be spoken
Healing hearts that have been broken
Let every heart beat as one
Under the temple of the sun
Let everyone become his brother
In the heart of God there is no other
Let compassion fill your soul
Teaching well from what you know
Let peace be the path you walk
Showing forth in how you talk
Let your truth light the way
Breaking darkness of the day
Let everyone do his part
To heal our planet from the heart
Let everyone hear the voice within
Which will direct you home again
It was now the second day of the feast
Of riding the wind, of taming the beast
The people watched for the Master to come
While they danced to the sound of the drum
He was the treasure of their land
For he helped them to understand
Though alone, he was never apart
For he was held dearly in each one’s heart
He arrived on the fourth hour of the day
All of the people made clear his way
For him was made a special seat
Built with love to the flow of the beat
In their midst he sat above them all
With outstretched arms, let his spirit call
To any there that would hear
So he could once again draw them near
As silence fell upon that place
He began to speak with heavenly grace
My eyes have seen the love you hold
From my heart another story told
In dreams of this boundless sea
Timeless visions come to me
We are but a vapor in the wind
But our soul continues without end
So that when a life falls away
It is to begin a brand new day
The sorrow belongs to those left behind
The departed enters a joy hard to find
So let your sorrow be brief
May you feel joy and not grief
The love that has passed between is forever
Deep within your heart you will never
Have to say good-bye, but farewell
In another place, another time
Locked inside an ancient rhyme
You shall see each other again
It is only the soul that knows when
I feel the Earth breathe with the surge of the sea
I am filled with the power it gives to me
I once again dwell in that timeless place
I feel the love of the gentle race
That lives within every heart
Again the place that you must start
The message I give is clear
He who has ears, let him hear
He who has eyes, let him see
The wondrous glory meant to be
Thus were the words he spoke at the feast
It was he who rode the wind and tamed the beast
For all who heard let their spirits fly
On mystic winds of eternal sky
Within each heart the beast was tamed
So no one would ever be the blame
And so it is that this story is told
To any who will hear and take hold
Of the truth contained within
Again the place you must begin

Thats great! Thankx 4 sharing it !^_~
here’s a really nice one:
starstogether.tierranet.com/ … ream07.htm
there’s more poems on the site too
starstogether.tierranet.com/ … /dream.htm
i was reading the thread, and i notice lots of nice poems on here, so i remeber i wrote one about dreaming and i felt like i haad to throw it on,even though this poem is already on the thread, but its related to dreaming so i though it was a good idea to bring out again so here it is:
Boring Days
Awake I am from depths of sleep from the body within; it seems to me that the day has begun. Plans and ideas surge through my head, how to start a boring day. No work, no school, nothing for me to do, just relax and feel what’s include with this day.
I like to say, lets just call it a Boring day, as it seems any other day of the week. Computer, beach, video games or sleep all options I could complete with this boring day, I seek. I do adore with all time it seems, I haven’t had this boring day in weeks.
Kick back time to relax and have a cocktail or drink, forget all incoming thoughts, as they get lost in this everlasting day.
Today is praise with all relaxing notions how to continue such a slow motion time lapse of happiness. The day flaps in the wind like a bird without wings, I stop to grab everything and feel reality. Seeing the day slip through my fingers is like a fatality of such horrific details just enjoying today as I am, but everything else fails. Ignoring the buzzing or irritating feeling that keeps shaking my arm, karma as I really thought I was faking. But today is just a false awakening
Thankx a lot guys 4 sharing! Its very apreciated.
