I have epic dreams lately, some good, some not so. I woke up this morning to more sad news from Israel 💔 Praying this real nightmare will be over soon 🙏💙🔯

IN THE QUIET OF THE NIGHT

In the quiet of the night, where my thoughts softly stream

I drift to distant lands, a place of endless dreams—

where whispered echoes and fantasies take flight

a world unseen by daylight, yet vivid and so bright.

Stars gleam like diamonds and moonlight paves the way

through corridors of wonder where time begins to sway—

I dance on silver cloud tops, a swirling magic ride

I soar through endless realms on wings of hopes has died.

Faces from the past and those yet to be

I meet in twilight moments where I roam so free—

a lover’s gentle whisper and friends’ forgotten smiles

found in places not yet traveled, in journeys without miles.

There, sadness finds comfort, and joy begins to weave

a tapestry of moments I never wish to leave—

for in this silent haven where time bends and twists

each dream is my keepsake, a precious little gift.

As dawn breaks the sky and night begins to fade

my dreams drift to shadows, within my mind they wade—

I treasure every nightfall, each fleeting star-lit flight

For in the world of dreams, I soar to endless heights.
