As night time approaches and I lie abed <br />I wish for dreams to come into my head. <br />Dreams that will carry me far beyond <br />Regular occurrences to which I respond, <br />Dreams that resemble nothing I know, <br />Ones that never take me down low. <br />Sometimes I'm lucky and they do appear. <br />Some are soundless and in some I hear <br />The perfection we search for when we're awake. <br />Uninterrupted serenity <br />For which our minds ache. <br />Undivided unity <br />That nothing can break. <br />Unending patience <br />For however long it will take <br />To grasp it and recognize that <br />The dream is real. <br />It's not just something that you steal <br />At night for a few hours. <br />But an unending reality that is ours <br />To keep while awake <br />And not just asleep.<br /><br />Edwina Reizer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-dream-of-real-serenity/
