Notes About The Poem

Haunted Hopes

Light hearted glimpses into the shadows
Where hues of tenderness
Tempt me to grow with faded philosophies
Beliefs that linger through the intimacy
Of teardrops and grace flowing on the edge
Of sanity, rationality, safety

Feelings erase the mystery of kindness drinking in
Silence and suffering - with reflections of silver
Stars shimmering in the night
As dreams laugh, bouncing off the hopes
Savoring the dew kissed thoughts
Gentling wild desires - with memories afire

Vagabond dreams inspire my soul to drift
Into the rainbow visions of a rich and vibrant
Caress from rain falling - Songs of love calling
This melody of creativity imagining, praying, praising
Wandering through my mind, illuminating the soul’s hunger
The ache for a dream that does more than haunt

Each line just flows with vivid, strong images, dear friend, as we "drift" along with you in dreamy "rainbow visions!" I love the deeper meaning of your lines. Congratulations on your win Gina!

Imagine a word - or eternity - with no beckoning horizon . . . . .

I think the soul may be a vagabond, but when it finds love, it settles in one place, nicely written Gina, winning wishes for a successful placement :)
