Dreams

Shadows of darkness,
Streams of light--
Creep in and out of our minds
As we dream at night.

Sometimes nightmares,
Sometimes sweet dreams.
Nightmares can wake you
In a panic and with a scream.

Some people  dream of
Events of long ago--
Good or bad they
Return like an echo.

Some people dream
Of things they want to have happen--
Famous careers, or inventing
Useful things and owning the patent.

Sometimes our minds imagination
Take over our dreams.
Inventing funny or dangerous,
Definitely impossible schemes.

It not only happens to children,
Adults do it too.
Some remember their dreams--
Do you?
