I'm sitting here contented
half a dream away
concentrating on the part
that's not happening today.
A smile creeps onto my face
from deep inside it seems
in this word so far away
that happens only in my dreams.
A world of moonlight, starry skies
the kisses taste of love
angelic choirs singing
a mist of clouds above...
Wrapped in arms so strong and warm
protected from all harm.
Dancing through the stardust
ignoring the alarm.
Shaking off those bells that ring
sounding that I go to deep.
Content to dream in spite of them
and know the bells will keep.
Push the snooze on the alarm
let me dream another day
Dancing through the stardust
half a dream away~

beautiful poem, and lovely background.

Wonderfully penned. You like dreams, lovely contented movement as the heart smiles walking through this world. The reader is brought here watching the narrator, listening to bells of alarm to ignore them and dance on in half dreams. This hold the essence of poetic craft, clear concise and heart warming for the reader.

Really enjoyed this. How many times we are rudely awakened from wonderful dreams! If we can't have the perfect life a few perfect dreams would be nice, or Hey, just let me sleep. Fun!

Lovely sidebar of reflecting roses - like this. Liked the flow, rhyme and rhythm in these lines of the poem as well. Half a dream away - neat phrase for a title. Good way to bring it all together, end with the same phrase.
