Dreams

Dreams cna make you
Dreams can break you
Dreams of living the unexpected, the uninvited...
Pressing on, pushing past limits
Courage is living for a dream
Even when you're not sure what the outcome will be
Dreams can fill you with passion
Dreams can drain you, leaving you empty and broken
Dreams have a way of coming back; when you think all hope is gone
Pick up the pen, set up the interview, make the audition and take a chance
Because dreaming is all we have
A passion, a wish, a hope...
We live to dream and dream to live
My dreams give me courage
My stories call on me
My poetry is in my soul
Dreams

-Janie

Taken in by you

I'm home
The only real home
I've known
It's the only place I want to go

I'm taken by your beauty
Lost in your embrace
Forgiven
Loved, even with all my faults

Your tranquil ways
Calm my rough edges
No one else can help me
I'm too much to take
Nothing else matters
It's all give and take

I'm taken in by your strength
Lost in our love
Pressed to be my best
Even when I think I can't make it one more step

You look at me
I know your wondering
How this creature came into your life
I smile cause I know
there's no one else who could stand here
No one else could take your place

I'm taken in by your innocence
Lost in your simplicity
I'm learning to take it easy
It's hard, cause I want to take on the world

I'm changing
Learning
Still searching
Flowing
Breathing
My rhythm is slower
Not too far behind is thunder

I'm taken in by you
Lost in my own struggle
Letting go
Holding on
Take my hand
Nothing else matters
I'm taken in by you

(I just made this up right now. Two new poems came to me today "Decades" I posted it on hubpages and "Taken in by you" who knows what's next...
