Curious----It's All In the Titles
'Last night I dreamt'... 'a curious dream'
Where 'time in slow motion' came 'at the end of the day'
I was 'lost in the woods', under a 'portrait of twilight'
A 'shimmer of color' was a new 'revelation', a 'friend of a summer night'.
I was seeing the world behind 'rose colored glass'
The world was 'so beautiful', and 'delicate as twilight'
My 'task', a 'simple pleasure'...'light years' away from 'clouds' of my day
No 'rain' or 'storm tantrums' to dampen my spirits,
or 'ghost of the season' or reason, to worry
Nor 'two worlds colliding' under 'long shadows of the moon'.
I was 'locked in the shadows of time', asking curious questions
" 'What if?'....'What is your name'? 'Do I know you?' "...
Curious they were, with strange 'spellbound' and 'insight'
I was caught by the 'wind songs' ''falling forward', 'into the wedge'
Softly cradled, again... 'into the arms of midnight'
