Notes About The Poem

Dreams I Had Forgotton

You are made of dreams I had forgotten
long ago when perhaps I was foolish,
and quite naive, still young enough to wish
upon fleurs in a field not yet trodden,
and asking favors from a shooting star;
I grew up waiting answers from afar.

I chose a road of curiosity
and sweet adventure traveling solo
lest I become encumbered and so slow 
that mundane life would gain velocity, 
leave me in a mire of ordinary;
so it did when I became unwary.

Now suddenly you reappear: my dream,
my wish, my favor from a shooting star.

That opening line is so beautiful and the whole poem flows so perfectly. Perhaps now the time is right . Only you will know. SuZ
