Poem of the Week: Week 1 of 52

Hey all. So no class work has been due in a while but I thought I'd give an update on life and my new inspiration. The last 2 weeks of my life have been pretty stressful. Though through some tough times I've found some relief. I'm feeling better about everything that has happened and continuing struggles. I have found peace in writing. It could be continuing old stories or new ones, poems/lyrics, or papers for class. Writing helps relax me and vent. So as a late New Years resolution I have decided to post a poem each week up here for an entire year. So 52 poems of the next 52 weeks. Sounds like fun. I for the most part will post new ones, yet if for some reason I don't have time I'll go into the vault and pull out some old ones I wrote in the past.

I have a few that I've written in the past couple weeks reading so lets start off with a good one to end the night that I call Dreams. I wrote it earlier this week when I was very tired and about to pass out and couldn't make proper sentences to my friends and just confused them. I added to it the next few days (first stanza is the original part I wrote that night) and finished a few nights later right before I went to sleep and I feel it ends perfectly.

Dreams

Words are escaping me.
Vocabulary is failing me.
The time has come to ask
The mind if it's forsaken me.
But its just that time of night
Where no rhymes will awaken me.
I need to sleep, to rejuvenate,
To re-engergize the mind,
The place where dreams are made
And can come true, but are only for me to see.

Its just me, my mind's vision of peace,
And love, freedom, a relief from the
Stress that builds from time to time.
Its just time to relax a little
And fall deep into this fantasy,
A few hours lease into the imaginary
Land of the lost. Much like the works of Faust
It can be scary, but do not become wary or too
Cautious, there will always be adversaries,
And protagonists sent in for protection,
Not to mention that this is all a dream.
Three clicks and you'll be home, away from Oz,
Back to the real life, full of life, and rest.
Its the time to start a new day,
But now its time for me to drift away with no sight,
So with that I say Goodnight.
