Sandra Adams Poet Acrostic

Great Escape

Graveyard of thoughts awakening
Reminiscent in shadows of yesteryear
Elusive like these dreams tempting me
As if i were to follow them through their enigma
Towards the echoes of night's faint beat

Every pulse moves you closer to me
Shadowing the existence of mind's thoughts
Compiling them from your soul's lyric
Amidst the whispered words of this arcana
Prompting me to follow in the abyss of sleep
Escaping these dreams i no longer foresee

*acrostic & anacrostic
