Dreamescape Contest Poem Dreams of the Unborn

DreameScape

If those years ago
   When I dreamed
   My embryonic dreams
       Longed for child
           Swimmer cased in love

If  grief crept in to haunt
 sorrow painted black
cracking Future's prism 
If betrayal’s scent flavored hope to dust

If the sweetest echo voices
Parents beloved with  
first frog beat of heart
If their early death 
      Tumbled into my dream
          Broken glass of sorrow
If lovers, lost or faithless,
     Raced thru carelessly
      As shadows---
I would have turned
Back
Toward
The 
Light
