THE DREAM KEEPER
Bring me all of your dreams...
You dreamer,
Bring me all of your
Heart Melodies...
That I may wrap them
In a blue-cloud cloth
...Away from the too rough fingers
Of the world.

Who I'd like to meet: 2007 Tabloid Witch Awards. "3:52," wins award. My niece to the left. My mom to the right.
Edgar Allan Poe and Maya Angelou for sure! Spontaneous types that have an aura of charisma that surround their being and shine a bright light wherever they go. People all over the world, different places, spaces, great poets, storytellers...other filmmakers, fairies and sorcerers.
I would like to meet all my ancestors that walked this life before me. I want to hear their voices and personal experiences in the different time periods and hear from their prespectives how their journey led them to where they ended.
I want to see the Paradise City...where life and happiness interwine into a serenity of peace and love. The perfect balance of spiritual and mundane.

As we stand with the most precious part of our lives... I cannot recall the moment in time it began, For at that moment I knew happiness, a happiness I had never known before, for just the thought gave me joy beyond belief...
It is a love of passion and desire as love which does not end, love does not wither and love is not, in fact a contract and can only be considered as a gift...
I realize I now know the true meaning of love as long as this life endures and beyond, for my dreams, my realities, the feeling of ecstasy it brought to me...
Love it is a never-ending need, one that will last a lifetime... and will never let you forget how true love has made you feel...
May Faith, Hope & Love Always Be Your Treasures.... ~John~
