My Dream
This is my dream now.
I can now escape night terrors and the Dali dream which was delirium.
I am single-handed, yet feeling closely-held and not forsaken.
Out, out into the thistledown, featherlight and floating,
I am carried on Etesian winds;
caressed by raindrops, watched over by angels.
I can see a rainbow but now in fade-out
I am seen in sweet sepia, softly sleeping.
I am unique and special, solitary but safe.
I am high-flown now, carried away like a poem.
I fly below doves, follow in the wake of clouds
and nothing can stop me.
I am to be cherished forever.
This my dream now.

ReplyDeleteThe seven circles of cait oconnor would be nothing like poor old Dantes !
ReplyDeleteCait, I am so glad to have read this poem, and to be able to tell you I do love the possibility of dreaming. Often my overnight sleep is too consistently deep for me to realize my own dreams.
ReplyDeleteI am grateful for the good rest that such sleep provides, but am glad every now and then to coast a little near the edge of dreamland, when I can actually catch hold of where my mind is traveling. I felt this sensation as I read this poem.
Thank you. xo
That "Dali dream which was delirium" tales a story that goes on forever. Love it.
