Notes About The Poem

My Dream Within A Dream

Constance's contest, "Dream Within A Dream". Poem written: 09/14/2025     

Falling, falling, gliding, boom~ land
                               My dream overtook me
Wonder enveloped through night's arms
Taking me home to see
A gentle breeze becomes the muse
               Through the endless dark night
Having a dream within a dream
     Moonbeams lead to the light

A wand was weaving stars
Their radiant glow kissed like dew
                     Inspiring my soul's flow
Reach, climb, touch, grasp hold, a breakthrough
Then the silent dawn cracked
                I embraced my dreams in quick flight
Results being gob smacked
     Now that dew adorns earth's soft face     

Dreams revealed my unfinished trip
          A journey needs to be taken
A trip within places
    That sometimes disgraces
Those silver threads stitched hopes and dreams
                 Are tattered with broken spaces
Gentle whispers weave light
Inspiring a poet's destined place
                                    From dreams, sunbeams lead to new light

Victor Buhagiar September 16, 2025 at 1:18 AM On the assumption that this is a dream within a dream, your poetry is wonderful. Best for a win. Sara Kendrick September 16, 2025 at 3:04 AM Victor, falling asleep while trying to figure myself out and dreaming sometimes is very revealing. Thank you for the nice review and understanding. Oh!! I still haven't figured myself out at age 80 so it probably won't happen until Jesus reveals to me who I really am when the Bible says we will know as we as we are known. Sara K

Gershon Wolf September 14, 2025 at 8:07 PM So inspirational, Sara... And now, I am happy for you that you have dreams like this. For I am forever condemned, it seems, to dreams where evil people chase me, where I get lost in the worst of slums, etc., etc. Oh, well... Sara Kendrick September 15, 2025 at 4:02 AM There always has to be at least one park with natural surroundings to visit if you have the time, Gershon, or is there? I have those horrible dreams from time to time but sometimes there are good dreams that have happy endings. Thanks for stopping by . Sara K
