: I'm posting a poem to see what people think about it. The poem is in three parts. I would like to hear back what your feelings are and what you *think* about the poem. I don't want to explain yet why I wrote this like I did, I would like to get the responses first.
: Night Dreams
: Some of my dreams are happy,
: I dream of a family and sharing my life with my wife and children.
: When I wake, I am refreshed with renewed hope.
: I am happy and look forward to the day my dream becomes real.
: Some of my dreams are not happy,
: I dream of my death. shot. knifed. suffocated. falling to my death where I bleed on the rocks.
: I wake eyes wide open, startled, gasping for air, sweating, my heart racing.
: Terrified, remembering the dream, the experience in the dream, the pain of my dream.

: Conclusion
: Which ending belongs to which beginning? Which dream is real and which is really just a dream?
: Am I wanting my earthy reward? Or do I long for an end of this dream to wake and rejoin my husband?
I think, this just cut right to my heart, I have no idea how to tell you what i feel, I have to process this for a while. Wow.
