Notes About The Poem

-----
A Sam Scott poem:
5th November 2023

Listen to poem:

Lost Dreams

Synapses tickle each other
Is it just for fun 
Nearly a connection
But decide to knock-and-run

Like a colourful projection
On some passing cloud 
Or a whisper of protection
With no voice to shout aloud 

So my slowly waking moments
Tend to fool that I was there
In alternative reality
With it's wanderlust and flare

Then the bump of landing solidly
Though my bed is soft and cosy 
With the vague allure of memory
Of a moonlight dance so dozey

I grasp at stars that vanish
And loves that fade away..
Oh to capture night-time's magic
In a jar of light some day

Sotto Poet December 10, 2023 at 12:49 PM Sometimes it's hard to hold on to dreams. Your contemplation of dreams, however, was well-written. The last words were some of my favorites: "Oh to capture the night-time's magic, In a jar of light some day." Sam Scott December 11, 2023 at 2:07 AM Sotto- great to hear from you! Dreams can be evasive but I believe secretly inspire us. May you continue to be an inspiration too my friend :)

Jerry Brotherton December 8, 2023 at 5:25 AM I hate it when I wake the next day knowing I had a fantastic dream but just can't remember the details. A wonderful poem my friend. Sam Scott December 8, 2023 at 10:39 PM Why thank you Jerry :) 'tis true that lost dreams can frustrate.. but thankfully those sometimes nightmares also fade! May you always recall the beautiful butterfly moments.

Ink Empress December 7, 2023 at 10:04 AM Ah this is so evOcative and soul stirring dear sam, i really felt so many emotions reading this and i can resonate with so many lines: i tend to chase them vanishing stars hoping they would hear my wishes and grant them true, meanwhile its just shadows sometimes we grasp, leaving us feel that all we have are but just lost dreams. Profound write this is: pleasure reading. Those last lines hit home for me. Soulful and ethereal how you’ve conveyed these rhymes Sam Scott December 7, 2023 at 9:27 PM Thank you Ink x your ever-present encouragement is a joy :)) May those elusive, poetic dreams always be colourful and inspirational!

Suzanne Delaney December 7, 2023 at 7:14 AM Love your final line. A nice reflection on dreams. They are difficult to catch most times. SuZ Sam Scott December 7, 2023 at 9:23 PM Why are they so elusive? Yet often set our mood for the coming day.. some kind of secret agent. Thank you SuZ :) May your dreams always be kind.
