Notes About The Poem
Written on September 6, 2023
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I Dream
When echoes of nocturnal ricochet over the nights,
Ebony and stardust fill my heart,
Erasing the sun’s gaze, inspiring the moon to blaze
With its tempting song, singing all night long –
I remember the dreams that bring rhythm to my feelings,
Tempt me to believe, even though I can’t quite see
The reality is… struggles and pains, difficulties
Gain impetus, waking the pines, the golden birch,
In hues of longing, they sigh, breathing hope
Through the moments, through the life, like an alibi
A knowing that this is the day when love is blowing
Through the skies, winds alive with insight –
Braving every distant thunder, even the lightening
Can’t survive the delight, the stirring of a sight far more alive,
Beautiful as the truth, amusing the night with its vision,
Focusing in on the secret treasure, the bold flames
Success in faded feelings, inspirations awakening the embrace
Of promises left to breathe…
This dream, in flavors of wonder and peace,
Melodies rich and brave, focused on feeling – gentling
Darkness, rousing the sensitivity of a light falling soft
On the heart… imagining the source of all hope,
The One who reminds my heart, my soul, each dream
Is alive like the seed He planted inside of me,
A seed who believes… and you see, He nourishes the seed
With grace, kindness, mercy – a inkling of what it means
To love without conditions, love with the conviction
That love is openhanded, like the dream who survives
The darkness of night, the struggle with fear, the reasons…
So many reasons to doubt, yet – the dream lives
And on and on we continue, dreaming like sleep can never keep us
From thinking of this reason for believing – just believe
And, in time, if the dream doesn’t fade, it will become a reality,
The makings of a history…
Dream on… believe, and never leave this dream in the dust,
Where it might fade into the shadows of the past
Dream on… believe, and hearts will soon be fulfilled!
