Dreams Will Keep

Photo by Rhonda Pearson Smith Thickening fog hung beneath the willow tree consumes dreams of your lost poetry. From sandalwood-scented sleep, I kiss you and weep. Love songs will keep, lustrous still. Silver lyrics creep to gold dust dawn from the deep creases of clouded sleep, where I free thickening fog hung beneath the willow tree.

This is beautiful and emotional, all at the same time. "the willow tree consumes dreams of your lost poetry" Such a tender thought, holding a touch of melancholy. Congratulations Rhonda, on Poem of the Day. ~ Brandy

Elegant and eloquent words drawn with imagery's fine hand, Rhonda - "sandalwood-scented sleep," "gold dust dawn." As a musician I especially love "silver lyrics!" Congratulations on your POTD. Enjoy your honor!
