VALERIES DREAM

I look in the mirror
and what do I see?
A young, older woman
with a dream of a teen.

Slighty streaked with gray hair
and a few lines that won't fade,
I'm a young, older woman
whose dream has not changed.

I'm a young hearted woman
who waits, for God's Grace.

My virtue is patience
my vice is my dream,
It causes me to long
for a man, like a king.

Is my dream like the moon
too high from my reach,...
To dance among the stars
with the man in my dreams?

I'm a young hearted woman
who dreams, to be his queen.

 

Year after year
the calendar pages turn,
I live in my dreams
and my heart aches in yearn.

Is my dream like the sun
with God's promise to rise,
Or bars to a prison
where, I've been condemned for life?

I'm a young, older woman
who wants to be freed.

My hearts full of love
for the man in my dream,
I don't know his name
God, just bring him to me.

In his arms I'll be free....
to live my desires,
and love with the passion
of my hearts Eternal Fire.

 

I look in the mirror and what do I see?
The reflection of a shadow, standing by me.

I know it's my love
for who else could it be?
He's the man with no face,
the only man in my dreams.

He's my promise from God!
He's been chosen for me,
to love and to cherish
in life,... through all eternity.

I'm a young, older woman with the faith of a child,
A dream of a teen, filled with a woman's desires.

God, tell him I love him.
Tell him my fears...
my cheeks have become stained
from lonely streams of tears.

God, tell him I miss him.
Tell him, how much I care...
God tell him it's he,
who lifts my heart in the air!

I'm a young hearted woman who has reached for the moon.
My dream since a child, I still wait, to come true.

So as you look to the sky
when the moon smiles full,
and you see two shadows dancing
embraced,...moving slow,...

You'll know that he's with me.
That my dream has come true,
As the man with no face takes me
for our first dance, on the moon.

Nothing is more frank that writing about your own reflections, existenss and dreams. And you have managed that so well Valerie. That poem has touched my heart. God bless you.

I am also a young older woman...and you are NEVER to old to dream. I particularly liked the ending of this one - shadows dancing on the moon. What a beautiful thought.

A touching and whimsical piece, Val...adorned with your singsong and flowing style of writing... Smilesz... i especially like the transitional sense of movement through the entire piece..from the start where u start to reflect and review your life, to the middle and end where u remember and yearn for this special love.. He must be a promising and VERY lucky man to have gotten your heart...Smilesz. Interesting name too~!..hehe Everyone has dreams...and everyone longs to strive closer to them... I wish u well on this journey... and thanxs for sharing this beautiful dream.
