About the piece: I recently had a bad stomach bug that was going around and it led me to have some interesting dreams. The dreams were recurring and involved many family members that have passed, human and animal alike. I was so moved by them, I woke up crying with sadness and joy. I enjoyed seeing my family so well and am grateful to know my loved ones who have passed are in Heaven, no longer suffering. This is part one of the two dreams I’ve had. I hope you enjoy πŸ™‚ The photo I used is a photo taken of my mom when she was a child. πŸ™‚

The swing rose higher
our bodies huddled close
Frosty breath swirled from our lips

Silver Bells sailed in the air
chiming and tolling
through the fields and woods
The trees bore witness
harmonizing with winded branches

We continued our ballad
their wisdom wound with song
with harmony far surpassing mine,

We were together again
Great grandma Frances
Healthy and wise,
with all the aunts alike.

I felt their love
Their hearts sheltering mine.
The lights shone soundlessly,
dancing in tune in the sky.
One star shooting itself across galaxies,
then two, then three.

Their jubilation
jigsawed inside me
Our song crescendo brought me to crying.
Wiping my eyes, they smiled, whispering
“You are Julie’s child.

    I hope you’re feeling better. I’ve had a lot of dreams I thought about writing about. But then it might be weird… People would say, wow.. you really dream about this stuff? πŸ˜‚

      I get that. I have some out of the world dreams and in some of them I’m not even myself

    What a great picture of your mom from when she was a young girl. She looks absolutely adorable and so happy. It’s funny where the mind wanders when we’re not feeling well. Hopefully the stomach bug has passed.

      Yes, thank God it has. I do not want that bug EVER again. It felt like death lol πŸ˜‚πŸ˜†. It was awful. My mom was an adorable kid. That’s my favorite childhood picture of her. She’s so cute !!!!! She’s still adorable today, though she doesn’t think so πŸ˜‚. It is funny how our minds go to random thoughts when not feeling well. I love the dreams, though. They can be so vivid. They’re typically vivid though . It’s crazy how much I recall of my dreams
