The tendrils of that lonely place Will not pass away from here The soaring of your lonely heart The footsteps of the chase The figure in gossamer gown It pulls at your reality The essence of existence Is draped in ethereal mystiness The silver moon turns blindly away Memories fall and tumble over one another Then floating out to the cloudless sky Swooping diving drifting Places of yesterday are viewed in Replay motion random regret Overpowering happiness Faces smile or cry Laugh or shout Some are known some are not The need to go on To flee this jumble sale of the soul Drives you forward ever forward Stumbling blindly slipping grasping Moments of lapsed understanding Pile in and out of focus A melody is running through The cracked speakers of an old gramophone So powerful in its simplicity And then a clearing In the haziness of your mind Softness enfolds your thoughts You are still drifting But peacefully Whiteness all around you now The softness of the sea The rhythm of the tides The stars are aglow and call your name You are happy but unknowing There is no threat here Just peace Whirlpool memories Pulling down Sinking Drowning Spinning spinning Downward Eyes flick open Staring Blinking Bewildered Grateful You clutch at you arm And know it was only A Dream Jon Mewett Just a Dream [This message has been edited by Jon Mewett (edited 10-16-2000).] |

Very nice, as usual, Jon. You describe the feelings so accurately. I like my kind of dreams better, though.  To love another person is to see the face of God. - Les Miserables Marilyn |

Outstanding as usual. Thankyou for sharing again..  With a little piece of tomorrow, You'll have to kiss yesterday goodbye. Because today won't last forever, And the past will only make you cry. |

Jon~ This is hauntingly lovely. I really like the almost whirlpool effect - pulling me down and around and around. VERY NICELY done. And ... the answer is perhaps because we need them to be ? ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |
