Dream Lights
It’s dark out tonight
The stars are closed
But I’ve got dream lights
Illuminating me
It’s how I was made
Pep in my step
Walking in tune on
Sidewalks or blacktops
To the sound of
My soul’s whistle
Following the instincts
Of my mind’s missile
Navigating myself
Towards the ceiling of my
Brain’s right hemisphere
Moving the bulbs around
Careful not to shatter
My tunnel vision
Filled with dream lights
Never nervous when they
Try to flicker
Because I’ll remember
To steady the light
Reach for the dream

This was perfect for my mood this morning! Buoyancy in every line and internal light spilling all through each stanza. Love it! 😊

Hi Willow:)
I was in a buoyancy mood. LOL
I woke up and wanted to write something peppy and
upbeat. I've got a lot to be thankful for. Especially with all
the craziness in the world right now.
Thanks or catching the vibe on this!
And for the RL
Woop Woop!

I like how this captures your positive vibes that you seem to have an abundance of 99 percent of the time. You transferred that energy into your write here for sure. You have such an inspiring personality and when it shines onto your writes, it's illuminating.
You're the brightest light ya know. Maybe I'm a bit partial...
Wednesday huh. Going for student of the month?! Lol

OMG, let's get a cello! Can I pick your outfit?! I love the deep, rich notes that a cello produces. It's like pumping blood through its strings.
Invigorating!

You'll love this little story, Adelphina. Dream lights once helped me find my way back to my hotel, drunk, in Torquay, Devon, once upon a time back in April 2016. These lights lit the way along the curve of the bay, you see, until the council turned them off at midnight, lol. I spent 4 days there & even have a poem written about it. :-)

Hey Billy!
That's pretty awesome. haha
What were you drinking???
I think it's so important to be able to keep your motivation going.
Especially when the path is not lit. To have that internal dream light guiding you towards your destiny. Dreams are a powerful tool that only you can feel cause they are yours!
Thanks for sharing your story!

Dear A,
Wonderful piece. The closing stanza is like a kiss of encouragement to go for it, whatever your “it” is. I enjoyed the positivity in this greatly. H🌷

Hi H!!
What a wonderful reply. Thank you:)
I feel at times when we feel down we need to be our own cheerleaders.
When things get tough it's hard to stay focused. Life can throw you curve balls and I'm not a fan of baseball!! I'm way to impatient for that. LOL
Glad you enjoyed and thanks for the RL:)
I know they are harder to come by these days!

Great positive attitude young lady. The dark is only one spectrum, there are others that allow you to see (infrared for example).
