Notes About The Poem

Building a Dream

("Peyote Dreams", 2018, original encaustic)

Building a Dream

Building a dream
one thought at a time, each
with attendant sensations
flowing from a creative mind,
isn’t so hard to do,
but it can be a struggle,
even castles made of sand 
are work, too much work
when they cease being fun,
better to write on water
or leave our thoughts 
in the sky, effortlessly
painted in a sunset
flowing in a cloud train
wherever the wind may blow…
