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 ~ 8-19-18 Eight Word Challenge-8 Contest Sponsor: John Hamilton

Very beautiful work with those eight words, Joseph, I could conceive it in a negative way only, yours is 'naturally' bright and positive:)

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.
