Dream of Night
Shining stars of fire
Let down their beams like silk
It streams across the water
And glistens white as milk
The darkness holds the secrets
Of many days gone by
If you only stop to listen
You can hear them in the sky
Whispering their stories
For the ones who dare to hear
Tales of woe and tales of glory
That ignite upon my ear
They tell me dawn is coming
And it’s time to go to sleep
But nothing seems to help
Not even counting sheep
The sunlight hits my eyes
as it bathes me in its beam
I find myself in bed
It must have been a dream
Something wrong with this poem?

I'm a Grad student now studying Biochemistry and Biophysics (not sure how I got there). I guess I've been using this site for nearly 8 years now though sometimes I went years without writing much of anything. I write what I feel and I write what I need to let go of. Sometimes I write about a dream or a nightmare I had, If I can tell the difference. I fell in love for poetry in high school and continued to write in college. I hope to publish a book someday as well (leave a comment if a poem speaks to you). P.S. My Instagram is @CottonCandyPoems
