Dream Poem



I spent last night with a lovely poem. 
In dreams, its words of love, joy, and peace 
caressed me until I smiled and sighed. 
Accompanying it were breath-taking scenes,
appealing blends of the ethereal and the earthly.

Its inspiring lines flowed from regions of my mind 
that are inaccessible during waking hours. 
Each stanza addressed some resident phantasm or fear,
then named and banished it.

As the last line whispered itself to me, 
I awoke reciting my dream-induced creation--
eager to commit it to paper before it became forever lost.

I enjoyed reading your creative "Dream Poem" write. Yes, if a dream does not get to paper and ink then it will be gone forever. Our dreams mean something. Maybe??? I like happy dreams the best. "Good Luck" if for contest. Have a wonderful/blessed day writing away..................

Thanks so much, Karen. THAT dream was a rare one! Usually, I have disjointed, idiotic dreams! Janice

Dear Janice, Oh how beautifully you captured the intersection of dreams and poetry. I love how the imagery is evocative, and the idea of addressing fears through subconscious creativity is powerful. One of my favorite morning times rituals is remembering my dreams. Winter Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel

No. It's about a poem I really dreamed, in part, many years ago. THIS poem is old. Most of my dreams are just plain idiotic! LOL! Thanks, Andrea. Janice

And what an awesome poem was produced as a result. Sigh. I seldom have pleasant dreams, though I have awesome daydreams
