Once Upon a Dreamy Dream


Once upon a dreamy dream
I had a wistful, faraway journey
An experience unique
Out of this world beautiful

I found myself in a rugged, rocky
And weathered landscape
With tall, dense, dark, deep trees
Of jade, emerald, sea green and olive

An ancient, primal forest
With many chasms, abysses and rifts
Bird refrains drifting
O, the ballads, choruses and solos

The sound flowing, gliding and fading
And then the echo of water
Inviting and beckoning me to come
And I meandered forth

Soon I discovered myself standing in awe
Inside a breathtaking waterfall
Sparkling, shimmering about my weariness
Iridescent in the moonlight

The cascading water cleansing my soul
As I dreamt my dreamy dream

What an enchanting gem you have written here, my friend...Was this what they call a 'vivid dream?'...Mine are few and far between but when they occur, I try to write about them...Constance, your poetry has such great style and grace...I am in awe - Tim

gorgeous writing, constance. So busy these days, I don't get to see your work unless I just happen upon it. Take today, for example, I saw you commenting to Phyllis and that led me to see this new post of yours.

Beautiful poem and this one is a gem. In Regina we still have 5 feet of snow and had a storm again this morning. Beginning to feel like we will never get spring this year. Been one long winter for us here in Canada. love phyl
