Where have all the dreamers gone
we need to find the pathway to light
lost in time between dusk and dawn
into a mystical realm, I am drawn
awakening to the magic of night
where have all the dreamers gone
stretching my mind, the wind yawns
in darkness, the white owl takes
flight
lost in time between dusk and dawn
seeing with eyes of a new baby fawn
come and dream with me tonight
where have all the dreamers gone
in a riverbed, pristine dreams spawn
open the gates to heavenly paradise
lost in time between dusk and dawn
believe in your dreams, please hold on
sprout wings let your soul take
flight
where have all the dreamers gone
lost in time between dusk and dawn

This poem is so beautiful. I love the white owl in flight. I think we dreamers are suffocating in so much that is cruel and wrong that we dont have time between events to recover enough resilience to react and resist and dream. Perhaps this is a strategy done on purpose. It seems to work.
ReplyDeleteI love the power of the invitation. And believe the reasoning behind it. So much can be accomplished, delighted in, lived... if we hold on to our dreams.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, we have to believe in our dreams. To the question where have all of the dreamers gone, look in the mirror. Smiles. Hope you are doing well, Truedessa. I am waiting for spring. We have snow AGAIN this morning. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea that dreams spawn open gates and the wind yawning.
ReplyDeleteA vividly written villanelle with a dreamy tone, built up through the choice of repeated lines. I love the idea of dreamers lost in time between dusk and dawn and the phrase ‘the wind yawns in darkness’.
ReplyDeleteThis is incredibly beautiful!❤️ I love the hope and voice in this poem.
ReplyDeleteDreamers are happily dreaming away!
ReplyDeleteThe time between dusk & dawn is their day! :)

ReplyDeleteOh I love a villanelle. They have such an enchanted cadence that evokes a mystical and magical, aesthetic, so beautifully. Thus … your choice of dreams and dreamers is inspired ~ perfect ~ A lovely piece of writing!
ReplyDeleteThis spun some very enchanting imagery, especially inviting to those who may have checked a wardrobe more than once to see if there was a passage to Narnia.
ReplyDeleteLove that image of the wind yawning and the white owl taking flight!
ReplyDeleteThis is my favorite message: believe in your dreams, please hold on
