Notes About The Poem

Ocean of Yesterday's Dreams

I stand with you upon the shore
                          of dreams that echo,
                             but are no more.
                   A yesterday where dreams once
                                    flowed,
                         The ebbing waves that
                                finally slowed,
                            For dawn of dreams      
                                 unrealized,
                          We watched together 
                                weary eyed.
                         
                         Our arms once open
                                 to the tide,
                            Now hang limply
                                at our side;
                           mirrored on smooth 
                               waveless sea,
                     Unless perchance you wave
                                   with me,
                        Bidding adieu the rushing
                                   Streams,
                      That lead to oceans of our
                                    Dreams.
                             
                              Now hand in hand,
                               upon dried sand,
                          hearts flow to yesterday.
                           Echos in a concha shell,
                             we turn and fly away.

Faye Gibson March 5, 2022 at 5:59 PM This is beautiful...made me feel a little sad, but so lovely. Bj Legros Kelley March 6, 2022 at 2:36 AM Thank you for your visit Fave, it is a little sad, I was feeling somewhat blue as I wrote it. My husband and I are growing old, and though all our dreams didn't come true, we do have peace in the future. Sometimes, it is good to realize some of those amazing youthful dreams were just that, dreams. We've had a blessed life despite anything else :) Thank you so much for your visit and comment <3 ~BJ
