No matter the circumstances, a deep warm sleep with pleasant dreams can come to all of us. You have said this with poignancy and grace. Well done, my friend.

Comment from Spiritual Echo
Was, this is so well done with interpretive flashes circling the room like a strobe light, catching for a moment a myriad of snapshots of life.
Very well done, but I do have a presentation suggestion. Everything is very cool, except the font is so small it's tough on the eyes of we old fossils. I'd increase it some to allow everyone read this comfortably.

Will change the font. I am a fossil too and know how it is. Thank you for this wonderful detailed review!
Comment from skye
Beautifully crafted free verse with a touching example of the quilt used in the dream and in the reality of the homeless woman. It shows that His love warms us all, in many situations.
Excellent.

Comment from billmetz
A very nice poem. I find Lots of different meanings in this poem. Some happy, and one sad. I like the flow of the verses. I'n not very knowledgeable about poetry but this is nice. The rhymes are nice, good luck in the contest.

Comment from TAB_that's me
When we see someone sleeping on the ground, it gives us so much to be thankful for. This is a very good faith poem for the contest - good luck:)

Comment from livelylinda
playinaround: this is a brilliant poem! You don't use the word 'faith' even once within it yet the focus on the warmth of the quilt for yourself and the homeless woman on the street is quite spiritual. After reading, I was left with a palpable sense of safety and warmth on this cold day in Florida. Lovely writing! I would think this poem a good contender in the contest. livelylinda

Comment from nomi338
Aha, I like what you did. In a world of dreams anything is possible. You can be a king or a queen instead of the toad you are when awake. That may well be why some prefer dreams to reality. The real world can be demanding, demeaning and totally unforgiving. Wonderful effort, I loved it.

Comment from RGstar
A warm write. To each is own for the warmth a dream gives. Realities are closer linked than one would indeed believe. Another's heaven may be someonelses reason to exist., a safe place inside the mind.
Best wishes,
Nice write.
