Please be in my dream
By Nance
16 May 2006
Please be in my dream at least tonight.
 I know I prayed the same last night,
But when I sleep and sense your breath
I feel between the life and death.
I’m tasting sorrow, joy and fear
And setting free my bravest tear.
I live and and strive, I rise and fall
When I become this dreaming doll.
Without words that you once brought
I still belong to hackneyed thought:
Who cares for manners, charm and grace?
How much I need this smiling face!..

I really enjoyed the rhyme and simplicity of this poem.  
I liked the images of 'bravest tear', 'tasting sorrow' 'hackneyed thought' and of course 'dreaming doll' . 
 
Was the first line meant to read: Please be IN my dream, at least tonight ? 
 
'and and' think this was an error. 
 
Great read  
 
 
:)
Thank you for reading

Thank you! I wrote it really suddenly, yesterday evening, before going to bed. I thought how much I wanted to dream about Him. As every time I have this I wake up in a pretty startling mood, with some sense of gentle miracle. 
And once more, yes, you're right, that's a mistake. Thank you for noticing it. Your attention means much to me!

I find that my mind is at its most creative in the evening too! 
 
When you say 'Him' are you refering to God or to a loved one? 
 
best wishes

Hi once more 
 
In this very verse I mentioned my loved one. 
 
But when I read it now I see it might be refered to God if somebody will take it in this way. 
 
My Best Wishes, Nance.
