  Eternal Flames and Endless Spring

         I walk....

        beyond the slant-light
        afternoon,
        as evening falls
        in stagnant pools
       of twilight discontent,
       along love-echo shores
       of life’s regrets
       and shadow-thoughts,
       dark-dancing
       in a sea-world spinning,
       past half-forgotten dreams
       of broken hearts
       too long denied...or lost
       to rain and tears!

       I seek....

       only wings to fly,
       if just once more
       toward the eager radiance
       of creativity and hope,
       the ‘eternal flames’
       of endless Spring
       in a very ‘different’ world!

Excellent poetry!

We can make THIS world a paradise, if we learn to love each other. But meanwhile I spread my wings and fly to that other "very different" world where everything's all right and where love reigns supreme.

Love,
Margherita

Secondhanddreampoet,

This is a well laid out poem of every human’s dream--never-ending spring.  It's a shame the universe wasn't set up that way.

I like your handle.

You weave a magic with your pen that lifts the thoughts to places where dreams are woven...Wonderful visions that are filled with desire and hope...Where hope is all things are possible...*Big Hugs*

Good morning, Bruce.

Another for my treasure trove of poetic treasures. You are probably going to start charging me! lol

May you fly high ~ and happily! ~ in the eternal flames of an endless spring!

Your poem touches a strident chord. Play on, my friend.

A poem even more beautiful than the dream inside it.
