Don't Try To Climb Within My Dreams
I walked alone through darkened bowers
eyes downcast and shifting leaves,
A parapet of fragrant flowers
my thoughts my own except for thieves
Donât try to climb within my  dreams.
They are not yours to violate.
To steal and claim them, only seems
to shatter and annihilate
To rob me of my secret musings
leaves  me in a void unseen,
the dreams I own that fly on wings
to places I have never been.
I dream of times and places where
a brotherhood exists for all,
and laughter, love and life we share,
where hands reach out when erâe we fall
Donât take this dream, this soothing balm,
leave it intact for me to hold.
When life is cruel it brings me calm
with  loving magic me enfold.
Donât try to climb within my dreams.
You need to try to make your own.
Use my examples by all means
but leave my precious dreams alone!

Thanks so much Nigel, sometimes as we live our lives and dream our dreams we find that perhaps in very succinct ways, our personal dreams can be hi jacked by people close to us..maybe not intentionally but nonetheless they can somehow steer the dreams we might have had in a different way..maybe by not being supportive, or encouraging or maybe even just taking those ambitions on themselves and claiming them as theirs..It's quite hard to put into words really but i hope you get the gist of my meaning. Thank you dear friend for your ever positive comments ! Lodigiana x

Lady L I do think that I know what you mean. The people closest to us somehow are the ones that can't see what is important to us.Â

Hello friend,Â
I particularly enjoyed this stanza âTo rob me of my secret musings
leaves  me in a void unseen,
the dreams I own that fly on wings
to places I have never been.âÂ
Like you mentioned in your reply above it is very easy to see or experience someone try to infiltrate your individual dreams and aspirations. But the real test is if we allow them to. Everything we aspire to be is our right and not someone elseâs to steal so I appreciate this post very much. Well done!Â

 Wow!! Lodigiana such a great piece of poetry displayed and brimming with so many memorable engaging lines that reach out and touch the reader.
Live and let live and live and let dream, for that's hopefully the journeying path of life and of people's endless hopes and dreams to adhere to.
A beautiful woven piece you have passionately written.
Stay safe and healthy and keep dreaming and hold on dearly to every one my friend.
