Ode to Dreams

crystal shower wikimedia



















you encompass
my nights
oracle of dreams
hugging me close
cutting through
darkness..
shining light
you breathe
life into
my soul
you dare me
to journey
into the unknown

exploring the labyrinth
passageways of my mind
you whisper
in my ear
lover's secrets
rendezvous of
the heart
teetering
edge of insanity
haunting memories
jumping cliffs
spreading golden wings
soaring vast heaven

mystical realms
sailing ships
tranquil  blue waters
dancing under starlight
hand in hand
cheek to cheek
your body melts into mine
gasping for air
in the hush of night
white owls take flight
crystal shower soft  hues
lost in thoughts of you
ode to dreams

    Your dreams (or reality) take you on a real trip, girl! And a reader is right there with every loving moment, emotion.

    CAN'T get this song out of my mind:

    "Whadda ya know, he smiled at me
    in my dreams last night
    my dreams are getting better all the time..."

    c. 1944 (True, you--not yet--a twinkle in God's eye, and I was age 11)

    Thanks for your kind comment(s) Truedessa
    ...and yes P&L :-)

    Sigh. This is such a lovely, lyrical flight. I especially adore
    "haunting memories
    jumping cliffs
    spreading golden wings
    soaring vast heaven"

    Yes. That is what I want, exactly.

      Well, you are dreaming at the right time as that is when we have our most powerful dreams.

    I dream long symbolic dreams, easy to interpret..they reflect what makes me happy and my fears and the current state of affairs...your ode to them is very "happening";)

    The opening lines are brilliant
    you encompass
    my nights

    and the poem that follows does not disappoint in any way. I don't remember my dreams often; maybe, like Claudia, I don't dream much?

      Thank you for the lovely comment..We all dream the problem is recalling them upon waking.

    If dreams could be like this... I'm afraid mine are nightmares.. as I tend to wake up in angst... love the progression of the poem. (BTW is there a typo in the first stanza... shinning light?)..

    You dream beautiful dreams....they must be wonderful to experience AND remember. Like a few people before me, I am not one who remembers dreams if I indeed have them.

      Mary,

      We all dream but, sometimes they are fragmented...I tend to dream full scale adventures..

    I love where dreams take you ~ Alas for me I don't remember my dreams anymore ~ Perhaps I remember vaguely but its like they are sleeping in another part of me and don't want to be shaken free ~

      Grace,

      Well, maybe you need to shake up the dreamworld and see what it has to say..I'm sure there is a tale..

    Your dreams flow
    At your show
    taking you to worlds afar
    No need for a car
    Just follow the owl
    Or another spirits howl
    And what may come
    from their hum
    Who really knows
    as the wind blows
    And on the blue sea
    two sail living free

      what's life without some dreams
      exploring various themes
      sliding on golden moonbeams
      traveling our ship on the high seas
      captain at the helm with ease...

    Love being able to remember my dreams, they often reveal things that I am trying to tell myself.
