Dream Pilgrim

Dream Pilgrim Slipping past the threshold of the daystar in velvet vesper hues My weary pilgrim heart sheds the restraints Of pale dawn’s blush and twilight’s silver dawning darkness dyed in ebony To gather starlit threads of lacy midnight raptures – Cobwebs of mysterious deep scars – Shivering echoes and silent symphonies solitudes Pulling apart tangled luminescent threads of soaring moon fantasy dances Of wild, untamed, white hot strands of passion in braided chords of shimmery Cords of dark secrets bound in night terrors of colorless tantrums - Rosy remembrances and new hope in borning greens – Scattered remnants of the forgotten in barefoot convictions To weave a gauzy metaphor light as clouds ships on a midnight seascape A fragile souvenir of pale hoarfrost in flowing textures of irony – Emerging mystic patterns bold as an ephemeral glimpse of eternal Gossamer filaments in mystic schemes of far pavilions A fleeting tapestry – a mantle of the epic pilgrimage visage - Disappearing into wreaths of corona’s memory crowning In new light of re-emerging time’s strong resolve Only to reprise the journey when sighs of sweet slumber’s song Again invites my heart to explore the maze in shimmers of sleep 1-27-21 N/A - 2/2/21 - Contest - All Yours (Feb 1) Current Contest - Final 2021 N/A Choice 3 Sponsor: William Kekaula

It sounds like your dreams are quite magical, Sam, and your poem is filled with beautiful descriptions. I, too, have looked at the night sky to see "ephemeral glimpse of eternal." That happens every night when your're on a boat 25 miles offshore. Truly lovely! Hugs, Carolyn

Hi Carolyn! Thank you! Can't believe I missed your lovely and most gracious message. Thank you! I do have some wonderful, and crazy, dreams. What an amazing experience to see the stars at sea with no other distractions and feel like you can touch the eternal. Sounds like a wonderful poem in the making. Blessings to you dear friend. Sam
