Enchanted Dreams

I close my eyes and wonder
Where will I go tonight?
Will I be carried on the wings of angels
Flying me to heavens so high
Or to forests of enchanted trees
Or will I be tormented by the laughter of my enemies
As they stand on the side like a frenzied mob
Laughing while I burn
Will I be in fields of tall grass
Surrounded by scents of lush greenery
Or will I be far away
From all that I know
In mixed-up crazy lands
Where nothing makes sense at all
Will I know that there is an escape
An end to all the madness
Or will I be sucked into an endless abyss
I close my eyes
As I do every night
Praying that I will be kept safe
That my dreams will be kind
And that tomorrow
Will be kind on me too

From Sydney,
Good night xo

      1. …and Good Night to you. I had a lovely day meeting up with an old college friend and we only had a whirlwind 3 and a half hours together…but it was wonderful just to make that physical connection. She has been gravely ill so the hugs were special. I will go down to Bristol later this summer and stay with her a night or two. She is a brave woman, and has a condition where she does not know if she will end up paralysed or not in the future. Her courage makes me feel very humble. Hope the inspiration of your beautiful poem filtered into your day. Glad to see your spirits lifting. Take care, sweet dreams!! x
