The vocalise compliments your poem very well. Lovely poetry to document your dream.

"Beautiful Sad Dream" (Fantasie Vocalise)
                      (c)2022
            By James Lawrence Nesser

I dreamt a dream both beautiful and sad
So many nights it nearly drove me mad
At first all colors shone in brilliant hue
And all around me looked so fresh and new

As time passed on close to the end of day
Those pretty colors dimmed to fade away
From high upon a hilltop I looked down
At all the bright lights shining in the town

When something strange I noticed by and by
I found that for the first time I could fly
Yes, I could bank and swoop, and I could soar
But when I tried to do just one thing more

Though I could dart so swiftly all around
I tried but could not fly down to that town
And no amount of effort took me near
Those sparkling amber lights so warm and clear

In time I saw one special tiny light
Among so many in the winter night
Its beam merely a weakly blinking glow
When suddenly I felt a chill wind blow

It stung my face and filled my eyes with tears
I now know after all these many years
That I was looking at my childhood home
From high upon that hilltop all alone

Somehow I knew that I could not go in
I knew I never could go home again
The night air then turned bitter and so cold
I felt as if I'd suddenly turned old

But that is just how some dreams tend to go
And they're not real, at least I don't think so

Note:  This "poem" is based on an actual dream I used to have fairly  frequently.  Once I wrote out these verses I don't think I've ever had it again.  But I remember it so well I can visualize it any time I want to.

March Of The Iron Legion

Although I love just about all types of music, the biggest influence on what I write and record is the pop, rock, folk, and country music of the 60s, 70s, and 80s.  All vocals and instruments are performed and recorded by me and, except where otherwise noted, all songs are original compositions.  I often post the lyrics to my compositions as an aid to listeners who do not have English as their first language.  Thanks to all who stop by and listen to any of my songs.  I appreciate your time and attention, and I hope you enjoy listening.
