In my dream the darkness came
the tears inside began to swell
I found myself by a wishing well
sorrow has more than one name
from the east a crow appeared
messenger from the sky-world
overhead dark clouds swirled
in mists of grey he disappeared
sipping from the waters of life
leaves cling in the misty dew
visions in a sky of violet blue
spirits awaken to drum & fife
come to me, oh morning, bright
on restless limbs, autumn nears
nature is swiftly shifting gears
in my dream the darkness came
who will guide our dreams to light

Thank you for visiting,
darkness, light & dreams
Good question, "who will guide our dreams to light" Perhaps in November we will know.
ReplyDeletePerhaps, November holds the key :)
Delete"...swiftly changing gears..." Indeed.
ReplyDeleteYowzagood!
Thanks Ron
DeleteI love "sorrow has more than one name."
ReplyDeleteSorrow, does have more than one name and often it comes disguised.
DeleteVery well done Truedessa. Your well of sorrow and dreams lost without a guide worked so well!
ReplyDeleteThanks Dwight, I guess I am feeling a sense of hopelessness but, in my heart I know light will see me through.

ReplyDeletewho will guide our dreams to light
Dreams contrary to belief should not be taken lightly. There are occasions dreams foretell what the future holds, not 100% but perhaps some aspects of it. Rightly said True!

Hi Hank,
DeleteHow are you doing during the pandemic? I do believe dreams are gateways to guide us in our waking life. Leading us to the question, which is the waking life?
Beautiful, very moving.
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting!
DeleteThe sun will always rise to dispel the darkness and bring light.
ReplyDeleteSo true Alex, words of wisdom.
Delete'sorrow has more than one name'. I like that line very much.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jane
DeleteThis really hits and fits these times with Biden's speech last night and the poem I'm sketching now, My Pandemic Totem Animal
ReplyDeleteInteresting as I wrote the poem before his speech and I wonder if my dream was something more?
DeleteHow beautiful and delicately written.
ReplyDeleteThere is a light at the end of the tunnel. We just have to hold on a little longer 💝
ReplyDeleteVery moving and there is always dark and light.
ReplyDeleteThat guide will show as the light eventually shines through.
ReplyDeleteAs I read your poem, it felt like it was coming from a celestial being who says the words that brings day to us every day. It made me wonder if that being knows something we don't that is coming. Very mystical!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful. Listen to the crow, always. He will guide your soul.
ReplyDeleteDreams always seem to have a thread that leads back to the waking world and to light. Perhaps the crow, appearing and disappearing? An interesting excursion into our hidden worlds.
ReplyDeleteWhat a compelling piece!
ReplyDeleteI sometimes find my journey of dreams through the night to be challenging... light is what we need.
