In Dreams

she sleeps upon
dreams of dreams

written on scrap papers
a wish repeating
becoming a thousand more

her absent beloved
his familiar face
eyes watered with skyblue tears
voice soothingly calling her name
like silent wind chimes

together
they float on a moon cloud
his kiss soft as cotton
upon her windswept lips
his fingers brush away her tears
falling
like double rainbows down her cheeks
a bittersweet union

he takes flight
towards the sky
his smile unrelenting
a massive magnificent light
breaking into million bits of silver stars
willingly embed themselves
into the sky of night

she sleeps in dreams
night after night

I like what you did here and the circular pattern works in pulling it all together. But, I can certainly feel a bit of sadness in the air. Have a nice night.

This rolls out like a magic, mythical carpet.

Especially love the poetic use of the word "scraps".

Utterly beautiful!

Hi... thanks for dropping by. Actually, your 2 Lives photoblog is one of the first ones I checked out on She Who Blogs. (I didn't realize it was you until just now when I saw the link at the bottom) It's a wonderful site! But, so is this one... you have quite a way with words.

This is really lovely! I happened to come across your page a few minutes ago and after reading the latest posts, I know I'll be coming back to read more.

You're great with words. :)

That was beautiful........I can't pick out a favorite part because it all was wonderful, the imagery I saw, the feelings I felt, I loved it all! Thanks for sharing it.

I agree with Scott. There is too much loveliness here to pick a favorite...and I must say your other works evoke the same response.

I can't wait to see more.
