A Tapestry of Dreams

Dreams I've strung together,
Of the Robin on its wing--
Interwoven tenderly
With yarn, and thread, and string.

The redolence of summer
Mingled with the winter breeze--
The image of a starry night,
Of flowers, hills, and trees.

A picture on a naked wall
For everyone to see--
Visions of the hummingbird,
As well the honeybee. 

A lively pattern on display
Of hope, as well regret--
Recollections in tranquility
Of the things I can't forget.

The things that I have noticed,
Although tend to overlook--
Like the autumn leaves first falling,
Or the babbling of a brook.

Designs of places unexplored;
Of dawn's triumphant beams--
T is a woven bit of majesty:
A tapestry of dreams.

Thanks my friend. I think it's time for something with a bit more edge. There's a fine line between real and bleeding on a page; I don't want to cross it. Then again, maybe I should just turn the pen loose. Happy Easter, my dear. Hugs, Mel

Stunningly beautiful Mel. I have just commented on the poem you wrote with Rose - you need to post it too, that way it gets seen by twice as many people. Have recently collaborated with 3 incredibly talented poets Darren Watson and I are to post our 4th poem hopefully later today under our collective name JaDazzle Hugs Jan xx
