Dream Tales~ Dreams hung in tapestry, Danced and spent Across meadows of Starry tents, Carefree copper dreams Flung down wishing wells, Ribbons of dreams Some galloping air, Some braided, others Dangling the corners Of sleep, Sometimes knotted, and Lost. What will you give me For these wistful conundrums? What can you trade For these azure wonders Skating the frozen tears Of someone's season.. Hand-me-down dreams with Patched pastel sails, How they drift in search Of another current, A far away land Through fresh green eyes. I watched them go.. Floating.. Floating still Down Nodaway river Towards the inevitable lure Of the horizon, I had once adored them, Then stoned them, Finally, my knower said Release.. Left not with a dreamless-head, Just a more fitting Hat full of rain, To quench an August sky Thirst.. © Augustsky |

Your poetry always tells a much broader story than the few words ascribed to it. This one seems especially steeped in emotion. Justifiably so I would say as dreams tend to encompass two worlds at once. I know people who have squeezed the life out of their dreams. I also know some who've let them go to embrace the anguish of having none to follow. Maybe dreams aren't meant to be permanent as so many of us wish to make them...I wonder if the happiness they give might be better held on to by not trying to squeeze them, but just enjoying them while they are with us and appreciating them for what they are. |

I loved where this went and I loved watching it go. It will ring inside my head for a while like a beautiful bell. I enjoy reading you and am looking forward to whatever you have up your sleeve next. "Somewhere in a burst of glory, sound becomes a song" - Paul Simon |
