Tapestry of Dreams

This poem was written during my residency days...days that it was often better spent in dreams. When I first met Cole, my husband, this was one of the poems I had written that he commented on. It took a few months to realize the importance of weaving dreams...and that sometimes you do find the prince in your reality.

Tapestry of Dreams

I create an elaborate, intricate tapestry

existing only in my mind.

I weave my imagination each day

and live the dreams each night.

The complex patterns emerge before me
the rich colors unfold.
As the design changes,
and the dreams evolve.

It is a realm without pain or jealousy
hurt or anger.
A place where one knows happiness
love and contentment.

I escape to this safe haven often,
to weave my dreams
and find peace.
There I find my serenity.
I know joy.

Here I met my prince
handsome, brave and strong.
He believes that I am
beautiful, intelligent and desirable.
He is like none I have ever met
caring, giving and protective.
I search for him in my reality
but I have not found him.

So it is here I wish to linger
to share my life.
With him I am one,
I am complete.

Reluctantly I return each day
to greet my stark reality.
A world filled with pain, anger and loneliness.

I search for the key
allowing me to remain.
Weaving my imagination
forever in my dreams.
