Are dreams merely shadows <br />of a self that is unknown? <br />That break the body, mind and <br />soul to energies unflown. <br />To know thy self, above all things, <br />is a most impressive plight. <br />To take leave of the senses <br />and explore the endless night. <br />To fly with all eternity <br />To fly with wings of gold <br />To fly with gods and demons <br />To fly with new and old <br /> <br />Are dreams merely make believe, <br />a film of many scenes? <br />Projecting fears and wonder <br />on the world and what it means. <br />They tell so many stories <br />Some truth, some lies, some both <br />It is so difficult to tell <br />Unless we take an oath to <br />Fly with all eternity <br />To fly with wings of gold <br />To fly with gods and demons <br />To fly with tales untold<br /><br />Alice Anne Gordon<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dreams-i/
