Lyric Man Poet Ode

ODE TO A LOYAL DREAMER

In Alabama’s warm embrace, you stood,
Barefoot and bold, with heart and soul imbued.
A flame unwavering, steady and bright,
You chase the shadows, bring dreams to light.

Devoted hand in hand, you never roam,
Her spark, your anchor, your guiding home.
Through roaring crowds and neon gleam,
You carry her love in every dream.

With passion fierce, you seek and find,
The sacred meaning in each line.
No stage too vast, no night too long,
Your heart composes life’s own song.

Grateful eyes that see the truth,
That love’s the fire that fuels your youth.
No fleeting fame can steal the gleam—
You shine because she’s been your dream.

O loyal dreamer, humble and strong,
In your pursuit, where you belong.
May your light forever stream—
From fireflies to neon’s gleam.

Note: Grateful for a 7th place finish in The Ode Contest.

CayCay Godwin May 25, 2025 at 4:23 PM Your approach to this contest was so unique and I'm jealous I didn't think of it. Didn't participate because I wasn't comfortable 'talking' about myself, 3rd person is perfect and your entry is a fine read, indeed. AGAIN, you seem to have an impressive, remarkable and endless well of creativity. Congrats, LM. Poetry hugs ... CayCay (Southern, huh? Georgia is home to generations of both my parent's 'people' so, yeah, mine, too) Lyric Man May 31, 2025 at 9:01 AM Hi Cay Cay.. so glad you liked it. I'm grateful for your artist feedback!
