under a full moon leaving the day behind
high above in a midnight sky planets align
slipping into the soft arms of a mystical dream
walking in silence along the crystal stream
before me stood a man, guardian from another time
searching his dark haunting eyes for a symbolic sign
guide to the upper world in the pause of night
whispering trees, secrets under starlight
distant sound, the caw of a giant winged bird
slicing dense fog ,
forest stillness can be heard
swooping low, swiftly he snatches me unaware
soaring the twinkling heavens with the giant bear
high on a cliff , a bed of twigs, mud & grass
place of refuge, wild & free, below a river of glass
here in the warmth of the nest, I will lay my dreams
nurturing each thought as they hatch under moonbeams
a vision, quickening pace..somewhere in space
piercing eyes full of hope, I gaze upon your face
from my healing pouch I pull a white stone
pure in love, brush it with a kiss, I moan
over the canyon wall, I toss it feather light
into the river below, a dream takes flight
A vision in the silence of life...

Deletesmiles...love all the bits the secrets under the moonlight, even the more fanciful lift up by the hawk...long as i wasnt dinner that would be cool...smiles...a vision in silence...amazing what you can hear then eh?
ReplyDeleteHi Brian,
Deletefunny how I didn't say it was a hawk but, you knew it was and indeed it was. Hope you had a great day...
its because of my mohawk...they are distant cousins...ha...happy sunday.
DeleteBrian,
DeleteI should have known a guy with mohawk would hear the call of the hawk..enjoy your Monday.
This is what I call unplugged in the very best sense of the word. So lovely.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Victoria..
Deletegorgeous photograph. Always enchanted by the moon, especially the full moons. Really neat idea here, the dream angle I hadn't thought of but is in itself the essence of being unplugged. Really nicely done here. Thanks
ReplyDeleteHi Fred,
DeleteThanks for the writing challenge..I always enjoy a full moon and try to capture pictures if I can. I guess the best time to truly be unplugged is when we are sleeping no distractions.
What a beautiful vision this poem provides, Truedessa.
ReplyDeleteThank you Mary, I actually had this dream the other night and so I turned it into a poem to express how I felt.
Deletepure serenity...
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
Deletethis is a genlt beauty...taken away by dreams yet you are not fearful..placed in a warm nest. lovely.
ReplyDeletetruedess do you interpret dreams for readers?
I always try to listen to my dreams there was no fear in this dream..a guardian was there and the bird brought me to a warm nest to hatch bigger dreams in life. I rather enjoyed the adventure. Thank you for your comment.
DeleteI currently do not interpret dreams for readers but, if you would like to share one you can email me.
I love the moon inspiration and delving into the mystical dream ~ This is my favorite part:

Hi Grace,
DeleteMystical dreams are inspiring. I actually had this dream and decided to share it in poem form. Thank you for the kind words.
Being unplugged is grand
ReplyDeleteJust one with dream land
no rhythm or rhyme
Which may be a crime
Just all in ones self
Hopefully no dreaming of an elf
Just the moons glow
Or a hawk's crow
Can a hawk crow?
Would a crow know?
It all is sublime
Unless of course you end up dreaming of a mime
Hi Pat,
DeleteNo rhythm or rhyme this time
but, who knows what will come
next in the land of dreams for
a couple of light hearted fools (lol)
always nice to see you at my sea..
lol blogger doesn't like light hearted fools I think
DeleteAs it just now had this post show up in my blogroll giving me the link
look what blogger has done
Deletehidden me under your sun
I got lost on a midnight run
Oh, the imagery in this is purely magical.
ReplyDeleteTalon,
DeleteThank you so much for the lovely comment.
A lot of people think writers are a bit crazy when they say they dreamed a poem, novel or story. They really are the best source though. Lovely writing.
ReplyDeleteHi Paul,
DeleteThat is true but, many people do have revelations in dreams that inspire them to create. In my case via a poem. The dream spoke to me and I decided to put it to words to share. Thank you for the lovely reply. Nice to meet you!
Silver night promises golden dream.............
