Synopsis:
A journey along this long road had separated me from
dreams sleeping deep within, but then I met up with them
again. Now, they find voice through my writing, my poetry,
and as I continue to wander this road in search of myself, my
words will pour down through my hands and into the ink I
spill over these white pages I leave behind.
May my words touch you. Let me inspire you to give voice to
your own dreams, for all we have are our dreams to lead us
down this road that we call life.

This book is on my short list of books that deserve to be famous.
If it will never be famous, I will go on trumpeting it anyway, for it
is me. *****__Melissa R. Mendelson. (Comment by the author)
When I purchased Silent Dreams by Melissa R. Mendelson, I did
not know that it was a book of poems. I guess I was expecting a
psychodrama of some sort. To my special surprise and great
wonderment, I discovered a collection of poems that exceed any
among self-published authors that I have read to date. Filled with
love and hate, sadness & melancholy, hope and promise, power
and frailty, real time and time passed and future time, and
always with deep, highly intuitive introspection, Silent Dreams
affords an all new venue where one can travel back and forth, in
and out, of one’s dreams with breath catching longing to go on
and on and on.
Here are but a few of my favorite lines from all the great poems
assembled within Silent Dreams: From White Chalk: “And you
will be left following the white chalk, line after line.” From Brick
Stones: “As we dare to face the dreams that beg to be lived, not
buried within.” From Pieces of Me: “ The glass bursts apart as
my world crumbles . . . and now, I’m thirsty again.” From Vanish:
“I smash the hourglass to get some of my time back.” And from
Tracing Dreams: “If he were to go now, then this is where he
would want to be, under the sun and by the garden.” Ah, now
there is a poet! *****__John E. Cashwell

For 28 years, I have roamed through this
world in search of myself. My life is a
pendulum that has swung from Long
Island, where I grew up, to upstate New
York, where I currently reside. The road
that I travel on is long but no longer
broken, and even if I don't know where I
am going, I still walk on through whatever
comes my way.

The inner scars that I carry come from those experiences that
lead me to the woman that I am now. The dreams I keep
within my heart now have a voice and a scream to be heard,
and so they will within the pages of my book, Silent Dreams.
