BIEN DORMIR (An Original Poem)

in story •  8 years ago  (edited)

Close your eyes,
dream
a daunting dream
that seems
a haunting ghost
in waking hours

see your
soul in slumber's mirror,
it is stirring
with such strength
that spirit speaks
and wishes wander
without constraints
of time and space

leave your longings
and leap into the night
fly so fast, so free
that your wake curls
the fragile edges
of moonlit mist

welcome
to this land of
happenstance and whimsy
where no wants exist

here gravity
tugs only
at our hearts, entranced
and we dare
to dream nothing...but love.

Sometimes I wonder if when we are dreaming we are really awake and when we are awake we are really dreaming.

That's definitely something to ponder!

Through steem you've touched many a heart
Those who read your poetry, have loved them from the start.
You are becoming a great inspiration, can you see?
You've given some hope, to those getting back in to poetry.

Very touching, @pixiehunter! I'm so happy to hear that my writing has been inspirational to you. Poetry is magic, I feel it should be part of every author's repertoire. It conditions and refines our "creativity muscle", allows us to read into the deeper meanings of things. Writing poetry makes our fiction much more layers and complex. Thank you!

"Of moonlit mist" ... That really stuck out for me. Very well written, always enjoy, take care.

Thank you!

Always a pleasure!

Wonderful.

I see a lot of alliteration here - wonderful! I did some metered verse for a flash-writing challenge of @markrmorrisjr today. Would love to see your work in that challenge, too!

Very beautiful! Life is a dream that can't be grasped. It must be experienced first hand before it is past.
