Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

Listen to poem:

In the Forest of My Dreams

try as I may I don’t remember 
the forest from the trees

neither surreal lands journeyed
nor celestial seas I’ve navigated

all faraway beyond our earthly realm
no not one meant for mere mortals

in the morning the slate wiped clean
I have no hint of recollection

a vague reminiscence of mystic travels
amnesia of my rendezvous with you

I can’t remember the trees
from the forest of my dreams

but if that’s the price to pay
that’s fine that’s fair as long as 

I keep waking with a smile and 
in a haze the memory of you

knowing some day my day will come
and together we will be

your hand in mine you’ll walk me
through the forest and the trees

Anisha Dutta April 13, 2021 at 11:06 PM SWEET ! CHARMING ! LOVELY ! Have not yet searched for the forest of my dreams. Wish to explore shortly. Nicely penned. You have put a new technic to start with small letter. All the best.

Gershon Wolf April 12, 2021 at 9:00 PM Oh, is this ever profound, and profoundly sweet as well. Super contest entry, Line, and a FAVE for me. Thank you, Gershon Gershon Wolf April 19, 2021 at 4:55 PM And rereading this again now, I realize that the first time it didn't even register on me why you don't remember the forests from the trees. This poem is improving with time. :) gw Line Gauthier April 12, 2021 at 9:37 PM Thanks for the lovely compliment, Gershon. Most appreciated~
