Visions By Paul Wilson Visions come and go like yesterdays dreams haunting me Raindrops falling from the sky wash away visions I no longer see The door to another world opens revealing faces of strangers never seen before The door closes… shutting out visions my jagged mind laying on the floor Contorted visions, deamons from the other world come and go not knowing what they mean to me I pray someday these visions will set me free Quite night… sound asleep my mind is resting when suddenly visions appear out of thin air Leading me thru the darkness onward…onward to their lair Afraid of what I might see not knowing what I will find I close my eyes in disbelief wishing I was blind Awful faces all around speaking words I can’t understand Is this a nightmare or fantasy my body sinks slowly in quicksand The sky turns red as fire walls closing in on me Faces of strangers surround me I pray God… please set me free Visions appear once again as a hand reaches out to me… not sure what I should do In the darkness I grab the hand and to my surprise the vision I see is you Copy Righted 1-17-19 ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ |

Bluesy...Thanks for reading and your reply. Like you said my imagination does run wild sometimes. I guess that's because of my life in the sixty's. Take care my friend...Paul ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ |

Loved the ending, my friend. So smoothly entered and so fully centered. Enjoyed the whole read, of course, and my dreams (don't know if I'd call them visions as I've yet to have one be provably prophetic) are very real and livid. Wonderful piece by you . . . j. |

I read this and could very much relate to all of it...the visions, the way they can destabilize a person's entire life...the faces. What I didn't see coming was the ending. I know everyone sees and interprets poetry differently. In my mind, I could see someone dear you to pulling you from a nightmare here and being the first thing you see upon waking...or, at the same time I can see them being the first thing you see after passing from this life. Quite interesting and beautiful expression, Paul. There is much pain in today's world... It's people like us who carry it, and are unwilling to let go, who bring such vision causing mental anguish upon ourselves...(I had been told). I can attest that it is true today. There is peace in release. Michael |
