Glory Winzer Poet ABC

A Dying Dream

Above me float the wayward stars
Behind my glows the rising moon
Carefully I spread my wings
Doomed to fly to soon
Even as I lift in flight
Forgetting the warning thought
Gravity pulls me as I rise
Hope is dashed with that simple right
I will never fly
Just as I will never be free
Killing my hope and painfully weary 
Lifting up my broken wings
My world is back to sturdy ground
Nothing but a shattered dream
Over me mocks the moon so round
Patience, the soothing stars sing
Quiet, the wind whispers to me
Ready for next time, I return home
Silent as the world around me
Timeless as the trees
Under the moon and over the earth
Vainly hoping to break my chains
Wishing for a dying dream

Millard Lowe April 12, 2015 at 11:39 AM Beautiful analogy filled with imagery. Kept my attention. Nicely penned. Remember, a dream deferred is not a dream deterred. Keep dreaming towards reality. Keep writing! Peace and Love. Go for glory, Glory! Glory Winzer April 12, 2015 at 5:26 PM Thank you, I fully intend to keep going, and never stop. Well, maybe I'll stop sometimes, after all, I need to eat and sleep... : )

Poet Destroyer A April 8, 2015 at 12:10 PM Hi Glory, WOW! Beautiful rising imagery. I like the enigmatic ending. A flight so heavy ---not measuring what is soothing to the thoughts here. I love it, deep and daring. Many poets on this site do not write like this. For this, I call outstanding. Truly outstanding...LINDA Glory Winzer April 11, 2015 at 3:19 PM Thank you! : )
