sweet dreams (40 word challenge)

Awoke in the night!
not with fright, rather sense of a sight,
or a feeling with meaning,
emotion running high,
higher than the sky,
I want to be there,
only I know not where or how,
"think I'm there now!"

smiling beautifully penned piece

Reminds me of A. Pushkin's Awakening:
"Dreams, dreams,
Where’s your delight?
Where’s you, oh you,
The joy of night?
Is vanished, gone
My joyful dream,
And I alone
In darkness deep
No longer sleep.
Around my bed
The night is still.
In flash cooled off,
In flash dashed off
Like shoals in streams
Love’s wildest dreams.
Soul to the brim
With longing fills.
It dream’s memoirs
Is catching still.
Love, you, oh love,
Hearken my plea:
Send back to me
Your visions sweet,
And in the morn
Again so thrilled,
Let me be dead,
Be dead in sleep."

Thank you for making me search and find this one in response to your "emotion running high, higher than the sky". Best wishes!!!

Hi Localpoet,

Yes I know all about waking in the night with a sense of meaning. Nicely contained within 40 words.

I think many of us can relate to waking up at night with a sense of meaning... Beautifully described in such few words...

That never-never land or where we go in between our sense of place versus reality... ahh to speak of dreams is to tap into the well spring of what creates life.
