I Woke up in a Dream


I woke up in a dream on a coast I've never seen
But somehow in a way, I knew I'd be here one day

I'm detecting a touch of Spanish, language it is not
All I see is leaving Galleon's, raped, now forgot

I'm seeing centuries before me, colonial now so free
The Japanese like them before, ravaging in spree

On a beach I walk to the light, attracting I to enter
I'm there, as I walk through, my viewing now centred

Into this lush land I walk, not knowing where I'll be
There's something that desires, I'll know when I see

Walking, walking, walking, it's all I appear to do
Clearer my mind becomes, I know I'm walking to you

Further my weakened feet, stride through their weak
I know at the end of my journey, I'll meet whom I seek

A village, a town nears, as I look back to whence I came
Awakening in this dream, praying this person feels the same

what a dreamy poem.. at first I thought you are talking a touch of history 'bout the Philippiens for we have been colonized before by SPanish, then Japanese.. :) but as I read it becomes more,, :)!!! who knows that this person does feel the same.. :) Sir, won't you lean up/ look on the evening skies/ there in the moon and stars...... :)

It sure is about the Philippines Olive. Sometimes poems are thought up in an instant. This is simply one of these times when one's mind wanders and this is the outcome. It's certainly one I enjoyed writing for I smiled whilst writing - James...... :)

I'm not sure if you are writing an imagination story or if this is for the contest. It is good either way.

Just a few lines that sprung to mind and captured there and then. Thanks kindly Brenda, James :)
