I lost my dream. Have you seen it?

I woke up sad this morning.

I lost my dream.  The sad thing was I don't remember what it was about.  I just know it was a good one.  The kind of dream that keeps a smile on your face all day long.  A hopeful dream or a happy dream. 

I have one fleeting thought or possibly a memory of  this dream and it was that I said that I was going to do that tomorrow when I awoke.

Problem was the dogs needed to go potty and woke me up and I lost it!

I suppose it was meant to be.  I did find this pretty sunrise though.  That was later.  I went back to bed for awhile.  Not much is happening at 5 am other than a bunch of whiny, hungry dogs.

So today I will wander aimlessly around searching for my lost dream and wondering what it was about.

Perhaps it is behind the barn or in the woodshop.  Maybe hiding in the sweet corn in the corner of the garden.  It could be perched in the baby's bird feeder or tucked in a flower pot.  Might be stuck between two pages of the new novel I'm reading or lurking somewhere in the spice cupboard or under the jerky drying racks.  Sleeping in the BBQ grill or in the smoker?

Then again it may be in the duck boat or in the wagon attatched to the back of the lawn tractor.  It may be in the dog's swimming pool or hanging out with the chickens in their outside coop.

Wherever it may be I hope it is safe and waiting to find me again.

We shall see.  Enjoy!

If all else fails

and my search empties out.

Then I shall retreat into myself

For it is there, no doubt..

Waiting patiently

to spread it's wings

and taking flight

through my soul it shall sing.

Easing the aches

and brightening the way

warming the night

and calming the day

On it's feathers

the sun shall gleam

for it carries but one thing

and that is the dream.
