believing
you await me there
deep within my dreams
i sometimes run and chase the moon
⋅
breathless
with arms outstretched
with fingers grasping desperately
with moonbeams just beyond my reach
⋅
racing
to get close enough
to touch you once again
to whisper sweet words of love
⋅
i sometimes run and chase the moon
deep within my dreams
always, i wake
alone

Can’t stop, stop the hurting
Can’t stop, stop the breathing
Can’t stop, stop these tears for you, my dear
Don’t know why it’s so bad
This life’s been so bad
I’m glad, I finally found you here
You’re the voice of a dream I had
You’re the voice and I’m so glad
You’re the weight of a dream of a life come true
There’s no denying
I sometimes run and chase the moon
I just can
I sometimes run and chase the views
And dream of you
My heart locked in absence
My heart locked and fearful
I see no one can be here today
My thoughts locked in thinking
My thoughts locked believing
I see no one can be here with me
You’re the light of a dream I had
You’re the voice and I’m so glad
You’re the weight of a dream of a life come true
There’s no denying
I sometimes run and chase the moon
And think of you
I sometimes run and chase the views
And not of you
I sometimes run and chase the moon
But I’m just dreamin
I sometimes run and chase the views
But I’m still dreaming
Dreaming, I’m dreaming
Dreaming, I’m dreaming
Dreaming, I’m dreaming

I suppose we all do this at one time or another…
i imagine so. {smile} thank you for stopping by, Kim! ♥
the end is sad to me…always waking alone…and only finding the love in your dreams….
i hope you have a wonderful week as well dani…
i don’t know if she’s referring to a former love or one who’s died, either way it is sad. thank you for your visit, brian!
The ending is sad to me too Dani ~
Have a wonderful week ~
Thanks for your visits to both my blogs ~
thank you, Grace! ♥ it felt sad when i wrote the ending…
Dani, at least one can look forward to those pleasant dreams. That is truly not a bad thing. A well expressed poem.
thank you, Mary! ♥ i appreciate your continued support!
The ending made me sad, too – I loved the chasing the moon and looking for the loved one in dreams. But oh that waking alone. Well done, kiddo.
thank you so much, Sherry! ♥ i’m afraid i stole “chasing the moon” from the song. {smile}
If you ever see *me* running, then you know you are dreaming! (unless STWIASD or Emmylou have been spotted nearby!)
Got to love Toni Childs.
LOL! ok, Sis. otherwise you’ll be strutting around in your cowgirl hat? ♥
You wrote it as beautiful as the moon….
thank you so much, sreeja! ♥ you’re very sweet.
Another wonderful post to enjoy, Dani, with image poetry and music. I really enjoyed it!
thank you very much, Kerry! ♥ you are always so kind.
Light, ethereal feel to the poem; nice, but sad twist at the end
thank you very much for your visit and kind comment! ♥
A poem filled with longing…and Toni Childs is so good.
i know, i just love Toni Childs! thank you so much for your visit, Victoria! ♥
