Daydreaming

“We are products of our past, but we don’t have to be prisoners of it.” ….Rick Warren

The stars aligned so perfectly in the sky

As we made our way to our small castle

On the hill and fell over in bed

I looked up to see stars on the ceiling

Glowing in the dark.

A planetarium of love.

There he let me touch him and I did over

And over again. I knew then that I would

Always love him and I did, and I do and

I shall

No matter the circumstances, no matter

The time or space he always comes back

To me and my heart always welcomes him

No matter the tears, or heartbreak

No matter those who have come and gone –

He remains constant……my forever love

Funny thing about memories, they change

With whatever the immediate need is……..

Today he is my Paul Newman in “Cat on a Hot

Tin Roof” full of desire for only me

Tomorrow he might be my Richard Gere in

“Pretty Women” asking me to stay one more

Night because I want to…..

Yesterday he was my Kevin Costner in

“The Bodyguard” protecting me from all the

Evil in the world.

It’s quite curious how the mind can play tricks on you

I awake from daydreaming to find that I’m alone in

My room.

Sometimes reality is better than day dreams

& memories that can really hang you up

(which after all are oftentimes

Jaded – not at all close to what really happened)

Not that I’d ever want to relive those days or

Those times, real or imagined.

I’ll take today

And hold on to all that is good and fulfilling in

This season of life.

Just maybe I’ve got my Paul Newman,

Richard Gere and Kevin Costner flavored

With a little Denzel Washington all wrapped

Up in one and I’m flying high.
