Lampost dreams

I stare into the darkness
Into the eyes of the moon
Leave this place behind me
And follow twilight's tune.

Doors are only visions
Windows are only dreams
And sleep is fleeting in the night
Or so that's what it seems.

The shining stars guide the way
To the emptiness above
Ride the road to paradise
To the land of love...

And all these glowing lights
String the road to destiny
If only I could reach them...
Reach eternity.

Narnia is not far away
Dreams are never far behind
Walk the faded road unfearful
And watch the river wind...

Lampost dreams are everywhere
Blinking lights are there
Snowing stars and raining twilight
Dream the dream if you dare.

This was going to be free-verse, but somehow it started rhyming...I thought about it being a song though...Anyways....I won't be posting for awhile...decided to stop awhile and focus on other things. Farewell...(<-- okay, I lied.   Something came up)

This is an incredible piece of writing. You write well. A friend of mine, Cherish, recommended your poems to me. I now know why she likes them so much!

You've done it again, Leah... that's how many since your muse has come back?  Wow.. another incredible poem.  I LOVED the personification in the beginning!  I really liked the second stanza... dreams are visions, and windows are dreams.. that was creative.  I really liked the lines: "The shining stars guide the way/To the emptiness above."  VERY beautiful lines... The way you encorporated Narnia and the lampost in there... Those were my favorite books years ago.  Nicely done, Leah!  I REALLY enjoyed this.  I think it works better rhyming.    I can't wait to see what else you have up your sleeve...

I thought you did wonderfully on this one. I really liked it!  

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

Somewhere out there a cow is laughing at you
