I Dream With My Eyes Open Poem by Anita Atina

I dream with my eyes open
Of the life I wish to live
And myself, I must believe

I dream with my eyes open
For the lover far away
Whose words of love, with my heart do play

I dream with my eyes open
Of journeying well on this path
‘Though stones and thorns will scrape o’er some parts

I dream with my eyes open
To walk under a benevolent sun
Feeling warm and mellow

I dream with my eyes open
To find the reason I’m here
And in that call, relish every day, my dear

I dream with my eyes open
That when its time to go
I bid adieu, when I’ve done what I had to here
