Notes About The Poem

A Walk in Sunrise

Dawn creeps above the dark horizon.
Am I locked in a hazy dream?
An icy chill grips my whole body,
My legs falter in their purpose,
Can I turn back? Can I delete
This horrendous nightmarish dream?
 
And then, as suddenly as it all began
I see a single moonlight ray
That filtered through the trees above.
The rivers beckon still, but you are here
And sobbing, I fall into your most tender arms.
Your fragrant perfume is like honeydew,
Like a scented breeze that permeates my breath,
Saturating my lost mad soul with sanity.
 
Suddenly, a warm dulcet haze enveloped me.
Slowly, slowly I turn back,
Slowly, I re-enter my cold bed,
And all my nightmares are dispersed.
At last, I rest in peace.

Your poetry is so well written. Nightmares are horrible, it is a blessing when the nightmare fades, and blissful sleep leads us into peaceful and magical dreams. I'm glad you were able to go on with a restful night in peaceful slumber.

Yes, sweet rest. Still as the beauty of the wind who sings her song to those who just need to a breath of hope. Glorious and glowing with light - softly playing on the shadows of night. God bless you always Victor. Much love, Gina

A momentary experience is beautifully recorded. Sleep can escort us to a world of dreams, sometimes nightmarish, sometimes sweetly pleasant. However at the end, you pass from a nightmarish dream to pleasant sleep and rest. Lovely poem, dear Victor.

Honeydew is the scent of your lovely perfume—nightmare insanity. This lovely tale of sunrise tells the story of an ordeal that turns into blissful dreams.

Those nightmares leave you shaken even when you wake up thankfully I haven't had one for a few years now, I try and avoid eating and drinking a few hours before I go to bed. Enjoy your weekend Victor. Tom
