I have been happy, tho' in a dream.
I have been happy- and I love the theme:
Dreams! in their vivid coloring of life,
As in that fleeting, shadowy, misty strife
Of semblance with reality, which brings
To the delirious eye, more lovely things
Of Paradise and Love- and all our own!
Than young Hope in his sunniest hour hath known.
~ Edgar Allan Poe ~

I woke up this morning, thinking:
'I slept and dreamed that life was beauty, I woke and found that was duty.'
And then I read your post and I remembered that even in duty there is something of beauty.
Love the poem!!!
Dreams take us away from harsh realities =]. The thing about dreams is that its such a comfortable place to be in. We'd rather dream than confront reality, a very appealing idea =]
What I hate the most is when you've just woken up, and your brain still clinging to a dream, a happy dream, then reality hits you and your whole day is ruined.
I hate dreams. Such false hope.
It was a nice poem nonetheless :)
I spend 80%of my day dreamin
living in my own planet
even i know that it won't be true but it makes me feel good
Nice poem i enjoyed it:)
And I was really going to say how creative your writing is ;D
Thanks for sharing it, it's awesome!!
@ Kay ,
Indeed there is. ;)
@ Broken Wing ,
You're right. I can't imagine life without dreams. They somehow give me energy and keep me going. :)
@ Guari ,
Oh yeah, tell me about it.But regardless of the harsh realities, aren't dreams really soothing? :)
@ Lolitta ,
There's nothing wrong about dreaming. And if you can dream it, you can achieve it. ;)
@ HS
hehehe.. Sorry for disappointing you. If there's anyone deserves to be called creative, it should be Poe. :)
Back in the day Poe was DA BOMB!
love the poem :)
but honestly, i hate dreams i woke up more feeling more comfortable when i have a dreamless sleep .. and the thing that i don't like most is dreams interpretations .. never mind who is doing it .. i just let it go n forget about it ..
nice blog by the way,
*cough* Boring *cough*
somehow reading that reminded me of another poem:
When you are with everyone but Me, you are with no one.
When you are with no one but Me, you are with everyone.
Instead of being so bound up with everyone,
be everyone.
When you become that many,
you are nothing.

I agree. I never believed in dreams interpretations myself. The thing is that it has gotten WAY out of line recently, as everyone is claiming to have the ability to interpret dreams and dive into their mysterious world.
Welcome to my blog, by the way. :)
@ UFO
Copycat :P
@ Amina
That was a beautiful poem. Thanks! :)
Dreams act like turbo in cars, the give you extra energy, they motivate you to keep on going even when the going gets tough. No dream = no aim. No aim = no life :-)
