Carol Mitra Poet Free verse

Courtyard of My Dreams

Somewhere far away when the day retires
The dusk sneaks up, shyly like a bride
In the courtyard of my thoughts
Someone lights up lamps of my dreams

And yet without reason my breath becomes heavy
My eyes well up just sitting with my thoughts
As tears flow and light a spark, travelling 
Right across the dark, torching the sky at dawn

Such is my heart as lifetime of connections emerge
This heart of mine knows all these deep secrets
Even their shadows cannot be separated
And these dreams are mine and mine alone!

Sara Kendrick May 28, 2021 at 11:02 AM Creative winning work. Dreams can come true if some goals are added to the dreams but sometimes what we wish or dream about are not what we really want. Congrats on this winner.
