It Slips and Slides

Slipping, sliding, in my brain
Seeping through my mind, like rain
Dust of thoughts that glow and spark
Light a theater in the dark

Phantoms play in amber glow
Spirits speak in somber woe
Shadows action flicker quick
Sound and filigree too thick

Motion rides a charging horse
In and out a changing course
Blazing through the mist of time
Raising powders dust and grime

And I in rage and fires awe
Try to pierce the shell of core
Head long into the abyss
Form into a chrysalis

And when I wake I shed a tear
So far away and yet so near

Good morning, Sir Sonneteering Dreamer!

Many's a time, I have awakened from a dream of bliss and tried to recapture it. But, alas, they were illusive...

Another fine write, m'friend!

~ May your pleasant dreams be a reflection of your reality!

Loving hugs,

Ah.....yes, but then (and of course, hehehe, you already know this) Sy, the chrysalis eventually does turn into a butterfly....you make me smile!  The incubation periods are a necessary part of the process....yes?     ......jo
