Notes About The Poem

Viking Swords at Stavanger Sword Monument, Stavanger, Norway:

Viking Swords - Stavanger, Norway

- Fight With Dragons and Wolves -

Take me into the realm of your midnight dreams awakening sleep 
Bring us to a higher level far away from misery and despair
Where waves through oceans are kissed by a salted breeze blowing 

A place where mind can fly upon strong waves, straight lines on white sheets
Trembling currents grasp one breathless moment holding time 
No one will not lead us, even if it blows up to storm force gale 

Circle of twilight's halo under magic spells cast breathing fire starbursts 
Stars living on self produced energy under horizon's steps forward 
A mirror reflection of a faraway kingdom reflecting of the sun 

Faced with light internally stored faithful mercy yields 
We call life a mystery unforgettable the words of faith, hope and love
Crowning angels you came before me a queen 

Defeating the dragons and fighting wolves from preying sacrifice 
We find a personal point of common ground held in between world's 
Viewing life as the canvas we paint upon our memories

A beautiful collaboration on the richness of life that is possible when all senses are enacted and present through every day life.

Anne-Lise and Liam, Congratulations on the POTD honor here!! Your combined efforts with the imagery, the metaphors, and the wondrous nature of the five stanzas here are marvelous.
