Notes About The Poem

 

 

Dreams Drift As Time Sweeps Away

A moment of tranquil repose, breathing in whispers of sounds and dreams at nature's ethereal doorstep. Quote _by Poet



I gaze towards the sky,
Among the snow white clouds,
And autumn sun,
Watching all the birds' flyby.
With outstretched wings
Flying so high, soaring
Into the vast horizon.

As I sit on the rock cliff
A calm hazy white blanket
Sea and sweet air;
A dreamlike atmosphere
Of harmony and tranquility,
Beguiles, just extremely unreal.
Whispers of sounds and dreams
Drift as time sweeps away.
With cold shivers
Running up my spine
Staring at the shadowy
Woodland and vast horizon.
It seems so surreal.
Taking a breath
And sighing deeply
Brushing against
Nature's ethereal doorstep,
From sun rising at dawn,
Until twilight seductive night.

I close my eyes and create
A unique imaginary
Art inspired surrounding,
Losing myself in its trancelike
Quiet serenity
Of the bluish sky fading away
Unseen into blissful fantasy dreams.
