Notes About The Poem

Written Feb 16 2026 for contest sponsor Unseeking Seeker 

An epiphany dawns

Line of inquiry:
“What if life is a lucid dream
Borne by thoughts we ourself did stream
Wherein our designated role
Is to dance atop love’s moonbeam”
———————————————————————
And if life is a lucid dream 
No life, without you is a nightmare of screams 

Even when sad you can make me smile
Purple thoughts of you stretch a mile
I dance atop love’s yellow moonbeam
Pulled like white fish on line in stream
Having been loved by one so gentle
Anoints my soul life made simple
Neon nights made bright by charm
You delight with kiss in warm arms

Destined to die if I ever lose you
Amethyst angst would kill you too
We are one in the same book of love
Needing each other never losing touch
Soul ties unite and we are united in love
