The Dreamer

Beautiful sleeper,
peaceful slumber.
What is in your sleeping mind?
Do you love me in your dreams?
Are you happy?
Are we free?
Do you sigh content,
or whimper in fear?
Dream of current beloved,
or are you still chasing the ghost of the moon?
Black and white static
or color riot?
Future prophetic
or shades of the past?
Spider web insubstantial fragments,
or so real it almost feels there?
Sweet music in the background,
or cold silence?
Did you see angels or
the elusive creatures of the night?
Dreams of the boy you were,
or the man you will be?
Can you fly?
Did you fall? Who caught you?
Dreams of hopes
or your worst fears?
Dream of loved ones near and far
Or those you've yet to meet?
Did they laugh at you?
Did someone smile?
Can I tuck you in,
as you hug yourself tight
and dream away the night?
