A Bed Of Clouds

© Ashley L. May

Published on February 2006

I sleep in the clouds, dream in the sky,
I'll keep dreaming as life passes me by,
I think my dreams keep me sane,
I dream of happiness, a life without pain,
some people say I'm stuck in this place,
and I'll never go anywhere,
but in my dreams I've already been there,
I know some day I'll have to wake up,
but I feel the real world is more like a nightmare,
I'm safe in my closed eye wonderland,
this poem goes to all the dreamers that understand,
no matter what they say...
keep your dreams but don't dream your life away,

I don't read a lot and never really liked reading but when I do read I love reading poems or short stories about life and love and meaningful things like so. But when I came across the poem "A Bed of Clouds" by Ashley L. May I was hooked. This poem is short but sweet and to the point. Although its not a very long poem it has a deep meaning to it. I find this writing to be emotional towards me. The writer connected with me on a personal level.  When dreams are better than reality we seem to get lost in them. It is pleasant to us but we lose a grip on whats going on around us. Life is to short to live in a bed of clouds. Although our life safe and pleasant in these dreams we must branch out and live life because before we know it, life could be over.
