I Dream Her Own Dream

brave the winds to await summer
And yearn for days when love duly appears, 
Long enough till daylight erupts
Into a sizzle of wistful rendezvous-- While along the pier, a cruiseship far Moves toward me , my warm delight. 

Preparing foil of blossoms fresh, 
My hand trembles as the sail nears That my flesh moistens from the wait,  
  as passengers alight from the door:
 Still, your silhouette becomes a haze, 
  evanescing into air...
 
And this heart begins to fade 
  in crushed pinpoint of night... 
  a fleeting trance 
Just like so? God how I hurt:
Now my screams slip into oblivion, a 
moment erased 
By a vanished dream thinning
 as summer weeps.

This one is really deep and a great take on the contest, just loved that last stanza.. I have a different understanding about this poem, A mum who has sadly died and her daughter remembering her dreams... Congratulations on your first place in the contest..

A wonderful tribute nette, highlighting a very special time in your life. Splendid entry for the contest. Thanks for your tender comments re my entry, "I Dream". I too saw the show on History Channel re the Philippines during WW11. My brother fought in the Leyte Gulf Battle & thankfully came thru WW11 without a scratch. Later on he fought in Okinawa & there won the Bronze Star. My hero!
