Dream, Dreamers, Dream
by
Robert Alan Silverstein
A loving
angel came to me in dreams. She showed me life's not always what it seems
And brought me to a place where sweet dreams live. She gave to me a gift that
I now give . . . A dreamer's dream.
She
whispered, "Take my hand and I will lead you to
Peacetopia, where only peaceful dreams come true.
Close your eyes and open up your heart, For
then this flight of dreams so sweet can start. Dream, Dreamer, Dream."
She brought me through the darkness to the Light Where colors wrapped around
me, such delight, A patchwork quilt of beauty without seams Each color
was a rainbow full of dreams, Dreamer's dreams.
She led me through a hallway of pure sound With doors flung open widely all
around. And from each room a song of peace would play, I wished with all
my heart that I could stay In this dreamer's dream.
But we drifted in the fragrance of the breeze To savor all the flowers and
the trees. We tasted all of life that we could see And felt it flow in
peace and harmony . . . We dreamed this dreamer's dream.
Then my
angel turned her eyes to me and said, "You are the Keeper of these Dreams
inside your head. Find sweet dreamers who would dream of Love and Light,
These dreams of peace will lead them safely through the night. Help these
dreamers dream."
And so I am the Keeper of this Dream, it's true, But I offer all my dreams
of peace on earth to you. May their loving sweetness visit you each night
And fill your soul with Love and Warmth and Light. Dream, Dreamers, Dream!
May Peace Prevail On Earth
