"Le Jardin Ne Nos Reves" ("My Garden of Dreams") By Myrl Lehman Tapungot And when at last I sleep, I see my garden of dreams. Perfect in form and grace, beyond all words to describe. Upon waking, the blossoms are blown away, Only pale, mute images remain. Old eyes and hands and lack of skill, make my garden remain forever in my dreams. For I am a dreamer of fanciful dreams, but lack the gift to make them come true. Many years have passed, and now, skillful artistic hands, help make my dream a reality. Working for many months, often far into the night, striving to capture my elusive vision. "Look" today, behold it in all its beauty. The symmetry of perfect form. A symphony of elegant stitches, after a lifetime of dreams. Who said we only need doers? This world also needs dreamers.
