Dreams of Writing - 5 Line Contest

I dreamt of dripping tears in my dream,
And silent verses floated noiselessly as butterflies;
These dreams like ghosts from the past my writing themes,
O,  there is a sweetness and beauty amid the tears of tragedies,
My life sad but still lovely as a garden ravaged that weeps and sighs.

nicely done, sweetie. I think this contest is a really nice one and am surprised it is not filling faster. My poem is "waiting in the wings."

Constance, there is beauty in your lines....That last line so touched my heart. I know that pain is a close companion of beauty. Good luck in the contest, Dear. Hugs
