In the Forest of My Dreams

Listen to poem:

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

Gershon Wolf Date: 4/12/2021 9:00:00 PM Oh, is this ever profound, and profoundly sweet as well. Super contest entry, Line, and a FAVE for me. Thank you, Gershon Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 4/19/2021 4:55:00 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 Date: 4/12/2021 9:37:00 PM Thanks for the lovely compliment, Gershon. Most appreciated~
