Notes About The Poem

Genesis of Dreams

Where the scarlet frog
in the whisper of the rushes
defies  dampness as his element;
a creature of wildness,
it blends its croak and paddle
with the pebbles

So a dreamer is - his dreams
in touch with every whisper of promise.

There is purity in the moment.
A red flower floating through a whirlpool

No outward distraction
as large as hope
within.

Oh that rare experience of total silence of the mind...existing in the eternal now, the perfect present... Elegantly described by one of my favorite poets...
