DREAMS
There’s a place in my dreams
I return to,
Familiar and hauntingly sweet.
When the world gets too heavy,
I go there,
To find me the solace I seek.
I remember the days
Of my childhood
With a heartache and joy that run deep.
When I dream of that place,
Gone forever,
My heart breaks with love and I weep.
by Gail Van Hoesen
A dream of waking
Not of sleeping,
Of times recalled,
And just for keeping
In fond memory;
I savor
In sweet reverie,
Its flavor.

The paths we take are many;
Yet just beyond the bend,
We'll learn their consequences
When we reach our journey's end.
by Gail Van Hoesen
Hurtling through a tunnel,
Darkness and night collide.
Wind, sibilant with whispers,
Rushes toward the other side.
Cold, unbodied freedom,
Remote, yet not alone.
Ahead, the radiant light,
The sweet promise of Home.
by Gail Van Hoesen
In solitude I’ll find you,
In quiet reverie.
The silence that you’ve left behind,
Stirs up old memories
