Joseph May Poet Rhyme

Chasing Dreams

The song of dawn leaves a spider's web in dew
 Its silken threads bejeweled in morning light
 The opulence  of the sky in golden hue
 Causes birds to exult in chirps of delight

 With an impetus to find nectar's embrace,
 Where flowers adorn  gardens with beauty and grace
 Butterflies give each flower a tender kiss
 As they enjoy the taste of nature's bliss

Fluttering between the chasm of earth and sky
  they dance upon the summer breeze
 The vicarious heart of a child flies high
 As he chases after them with ease

 Running after an endless summer dream
 Catching  rays of sunshine's gleam
 Making a mockery of impossible schemes
 Getting his heart's desire as he so deems
                             ~

Emile Pinet August 20, 2018 at 9:55 AM This is perky and fresh with a feel good upbeat. The words are colorful and tap into emotions conjured by their imagery. An outpouring of emotions that surges up from the heart and splashes against the canvas of dreams. Emile.
