Then whispers a dream to make me believe he’s been there and so can know the four-footed lady is quite okay and her friend is the same as before. But ‘twas just a dream and I am a-feared dreams like people don’t tell the truth and creep into my brain covered like trees in the throes of the winter cold. They must be covered, you see, you see, because afraid they are of a woman’s eyes when alighting on the bare and exposed essential manner of being. Instead of a comfort the tears erupted in the petal pick deed of believe or not and so of this day it’s not going okay until I decide to believe. Then whispers my heart, “Believe, believe” but the message perhaps like poetry read and discarded, forgotten, in the furtherance of human affairs that leaves out the true essential!

wow, beautiful stuff. very much enjoyed. I like how it begins seemingly in mid-sentence "How do the angels get to sleep, when the devil leaves the porchlight on?" -- Tom Waits, 'Mr. Siegal' |

I can't think of you to leave out the "true essential", dear Helen! Your heart guides you ... and sometimes dreams are divine messages, don't you forget that. Another thought provoking poem, beautifully written! Love and hugs. Margherita  |

Thank you poet friends! I am inclined to believe that dreams are messages but then sometimes I'm not inclined that way especially when the message seems unproved. I am, however, also aware of the benefits of belief without proof and I suppose it's up to me to reap them. I will one day! Helen |
