And I asked myself is this a dream
one my lips should not have kissed,
felt the wind bring in drops of rain
and reform all that had gone awry.
To believe this to be passion such
that thin are layers of woe left behind-
as dawn red sweeps the distant sky
restoring faith in tear-dimmed eyes,
I asked myself is this a dream?

one my lips should not have kissed”
I adore that opening — very Emily Dickinson.

I wonder if the speaker ever finds out… And if she does, does it really matter to her?
It definitely does 🙂 thanks for stopping by, Magaly ❤️
If it does, then hope the kiss is freaking delicious!

There is so much we don’t know, but at times like the one in this poem, perhaps knowing is not important. Lovely.

much love…
My pleasure, Gillena ❤️
Much love…
I certainly hope it is not a dream, for as the years roll away it is comforting to remember all you have done and the joy that you have had. Although tears do come readily when you recall such beautiful times…as I know well. Beautifully written Sanaa.
Thank you so much, Robin 🙂 so glad you liked it ❤️
Perhaps that dream is somehow a reality, Sanaa.
Definitely 🙂 thanks for stopping by, Totomai ❤️
Happy Sunday Sanaa
much love…
Happy Sunday Gillena

I ask that of me a lot of times.
“Is this a dream?”
when I am in heaven or when something beautiful is upon me or when I’m in love…
and this poem is just so dreamy. Lovely write. Good day!
Thank you so much, James 🙂 so glad you liked it ❤️
I love how dawn restores faith in tear-dimmed eyes. So beautiful.
Thank you so much, Sherry 😀 so good to see you ❤️
Sometimes there is a thin line between dreams and fantasy. One needs tears to cleanse the eye so the vision becomes clearer. Beautiful words that I can relate to at times.
Thank you so much, Truedessa 🙂 so glad you liked it ❤️
There are those who believe “what you see is what you get” and that it’s possible to “image your way to success”. Is it a dream … or a reality just beyond your grasp, waiting to be experienced? (Philosophically speaking, of course!)
Definitely 🙂 thanks for stopping by, Beverly ❤️
The rain can be healing if we let it…
Definitely 🙂 thanks for stopping by, Rajani ❤️

Sometimes real life is dreamlike, isn’t it?
Definitely 🙂 thanks for stopping by, Mary ❤️
It is hard to believe in dreams come true especially if they have gone awry before….but there are little things that will let you know for sure….pinch yourself and go with it I say!
Definitely 🙂 thanks for stopping by, Donna ❤️
