Dream World
A poem by NJK
Dream World
How delightful fine is Dreamland,
A place where I can go
When my day of toil is ended
And my pace of life is slow.
All the residue of daytime
Filters through into this land.
I meet the gnomes of night life,
And I try to understand.
They amuse and entertain me,
Or they frighten and annoy
Lurking deep within the shadows,
Peeping out with eyes so coy.
When the light of day is dawning,
All the Dream World fades away.
Memory tantalized by dimness
Turns attention now to day.
And this little poem, also about dreams while sleeping:
Elusive
It's hard to hang onto a dream.
It fades away to nothing
Like manna in the dessert
With the rising of the sun.
