Remembering

Does the morning remember
the gateway to the dreamscape
or does it disappear in the light
only to reappear under moonbeams

Does the dreamer remember dreams
pieces of magic in an imaginary realm
alive with vivid characters and settings
or does the escapist let them drift away

Does the snowy owl remember it's way
when transitioning between the worlds
ghost like it hovers over the tall pines
on starlight wings a celestial journey

Does a dragon remember it's mythical
does it enter the imagination full of fire
breathing adventure into the night air
awakening the dreamer to take flight

Does a story remember it's a story
or does it evolve into something more
transcending the boundaries of words
creating an epic saga of reality

Does the hourglass remember time
 is slipping away with each grain
of sand along with our own mortality
in a world slowly disintegrating

Does love remember it's meaning
that it can shine in the darkness
fill hearts with joy and renewed hope
does it know the power of its existence

Figments of time

In the night, I chase dreams
under glowing moonbeams
love a figment of my imagination
mind games offering a distraction
 space a magician with sparkling eyes
waiting for the phoenix to arise
from ashes new poetry is born
some dreams are just time worn

Once In a Lifetime

Once in a lifetime we experience

true magic, making love with

words, touching with nouns,

kissing verbs

let's compose a lyrical song

inject it with love rocking

the inner chambers of our

hearts

let's write a sonnet unlock

the secret passageway to our

soul, making  Shakespeare

blush in our chosen form

let's dream under moonlight

entwined in the arms of fantasy

sail into the winds of adventure

let love be our guiding star

into a sea of ecstasy

once in a lifetime we experience

true magic on the stage of

imagination, a troubadour sings

and a poetess falls into his songs

notes forever captured in time

Swirls of Blue - I Give You Imagination

Starry Night - Van Gogh

In swirls of blue, I dream

outside the boundaries of life

under a starry sky and yellow

daffodil moon...

I see universal possibilities

beyond the church steep(le)

stretching to the heavens

I hear the songs of nature;

hills and trees whisper

promises of hope
