A Powerful Connection Poems By Lynn Barany She was in a nursing home I was in my bed, When my Mother fell upon the floor My dream said she was dead. Dressed in a lovely nightgown The most beautiful deep pink, I could see her lying there And my heart began to sink. Unable to ring the bell For the nurse to come, She simply couldn't reach it And thought her life was done. If only help would come her way The pain was quite severe. She tried so hard to get off the floor Much too weak and full of fear. In my nightime dream I ran into the nursing home, Picked my Mom up off the floor, My strength somehow unknown. Early the next morning I phoned my Mom and said, "I had the craziest dream last night, I dreamt you fell and hit your head". Mom said last night was not normal My dream was full of dread. I had fallen on the floor, I was sure they'd find me dead. The mind has a powerful connection To those people who we love. I know SOMEONE heard my prayer And sent an angel from above.

Hi, Thank you for coming to my poetry site. I hope you've enjoyed reading my poems and will come back again to this humble poet's home -- Island Poetry. Every poem is original and is derived from my daily encounters, thoughts, experiences, relationships and contacts with family, loved ones, friends, nature, the world and people at large. My poetry is simple, uncomplicated, straight-forward and honest coming from the heart, soul, a spiritual presence and obviously God -- Her/Himself. Thus, once the idea and first line of a poem "pops" into my head, the balance of my poems "arrive to me" more or less complete requiring only my immediate and total attention and focus in its writing down, with minimal additional work or effort thereafter. While belonging to the International Society of Poets, I have also been fortunate to have had the support and publication of many of my poems by local community newspapers, faith groups, charitable organizations, and in various anthologies published by the National Library of Poetry and catalogued in the U.S. Library of Congress - Publication Data ISBN 1-56167-256-4 I now live on lower Vancouver Island, off the Canadian west coast. Although originally from the Canadian province of Ontario, I have over the years also lived in the province of Manitoba, as well as Germany. Once again thank you for reading my work, hope you enjoyed and found it relevant also to your own experiences of the living, loving and challenges of everyday life. I truly would appreciate and love to hear from anyone with comments, critiques, suggestions or what-have-you. Email Me - lynnbarany@islandpoetry.com Regards, Lynn Barany (Hanna)
