My Dream Within A Dream
“Those who dream by day are cognisant of many things which escape those who dream only by night" Poe.
Seeking such soft secrets sublime.
I'll find them in slumber this time.
To dream of that mountain to climb.
Breath slips away, perfumed bouquet.
Merely a child of yesterday.
Gladness dissolves dismay.
longing to embark on my quest.
To dream the dream of all the rest.
Gratifying my lonely soul.
To dream the dream that keeps me whole.
Holding sanity that years stole.
Visions are hollow yet deep.
To fantasize and keep.
Calmly soothing, while I sleep.
Reminiscent of eras gone.
Imagination carries on.
Wild wondering wander.
Reach that mountain summit yonder.
Wait to be awake to ponder.
Remembering the bazar.
Throw pennies to land on a star.
Recalling is at stake.
Poe's advice, stay awake.
Never ending it would seem.
My dream within a dream.
