Millard Lowe Poet Alliteration

Chasing the Dream

CHASING THE DREAM

Sahara like breeze blows Nubian melodies
serenading warm ebony loins.  Nile River
ecstasy birth beautiful bronze broods 
in the spaces left by wandering time. 

Truth etches freedom threading
between the banks of reality;
in the shadows of Moses
the glimpse from the mountain top reflects
fleeing visions of the drummer’s dream deferred.

The morning comes: a new day begins.

You left a comment for me to read Chasing the wind, I saw this and figuered you just changed the title. This is incredible! You should repost this in one of those contests so more poets get to read it. Cheers, Connie

There is still a way to go before the reality of the vision of the Dream comes to be. Let us continue to journey onward--keeping the flame of hope burning.
