Private Myth

in poetry •  5 years ago 



Myths are public dreams,
Dreams are private myths
—Joseph Campbell

I've been lost
In private dreams
Where I woke up scratched,


Traced the ridges
Of talons
Across my back.

Can’t reason out
Or find my way back…

So I sit with coffee
write a poem,

and conjure
from nothingness
a dream of my own.

          You have a gift, my friend - to encourage everyone but yourself ! Don't ignore your talents, of which you have many, writing being one of them :)

          Sure, he that made us with such large
          discourse,
          Looking before and after, gave us not
          That capability and godlike reason
          To fust in us unused.

            Thank you, Brother John, for the encouragement! :)

            Now would you please supply me with approximately one additional week per each week? I'm struggling to keep up! :) The LORD has blessed our household with the coronavirus... :)

            Meaning, sales of our products are through the roof, and I'm not worrying about $$ so much any more. :D
