inner smiles all day because of what a dream whispered

the beloved departed---
sometimes they’re still available to us in our dreams
for long rides down the interstate, for instance
in a bakery truck...
*
tired of her illness
she stepped into the glass-walled garden
plucked a leaf, and ate the healing herb
*
the children chorused
they wanted me to be their teacher, but
a big man sat down beside me
and muscled me out of my dream

Boy have I missed you!!!
Very interesting and confusing, in a "dream" like way.

Thanks for the welcome! I'm glad you commented. I fixed it, I hope, by inserting the stars as separations (there are 3 separate dreams)
(I was reading your posts the whole time)

I thought that they were 3 different dreams, but I always try to find a thread that dangles from one stanza to the other. I didn't see it.
