Reverie

Reverie … Maybe I was dreaming, the season was the spring, Blissful, joyful, youthful, I lived it like a king. Maybe I was dreaming, when the mirror was my friend. hair was black as midnight, and smiles were not pretend. Maybe I was dreaming of running back and forth, running after sunset or wind that came from north. Maybe I was dreaming, my dream was young and bold, Now my days are gloomy and nights are getting cold. Maybe I was dreaming, mom was there with a smile Hugged me, kissed me, and loved me, even for a while. Maybe I was dreaming, when flying with no wing. Dancing dauntless, and thinking, death will never sing. Maybe I was dreaming the sweetest dream of all, Laughing with my father while tears began to fall. Maybe I was dreaming, when playing hide and seek, Woke up one day, found out I am sick and also weak. Let me be in dreamland do not wake me up. In dreams, I am drunken, pour me one more cup. Let me be in dreamland, the sky is brighter there, I am always blissful, and love to breathe that air. Let me be in dreamland, like children I can run. Like dawn in the mornings, who melts in loving sun. Let me be in dreamland, my days are always dark. Darkness is so painful; all I need is a spark. Let me be in dreamland, “Haloo” lives in dreams. He knows what the dreams are as sweet as it seems. 4/13/2022 Haloo

Pashang, I never saw this before. Today is 10/18/2022! Itis marvelous, poetess. I, too am older. ButI dream when awake. I can’t remember dreams, so I must recall the past joys, loves when awake. Pretty odd, I guess. I see Connie blessed your POTD…that was No dream. Yet she is gone, that loving being. By the way, my days are bright and sparkling as aChristmas tree…no matter what! Huggs,Pangie

I was referencing Connie Wong, a poetess here who died a few months ago. Her comment is on your POTD. Pangie

I love this uplifting dreamy poem Pashang. I have had dreams that I still recall vividly from 50 years ago. When they are wonderful dreams it seems we never forget them. I wish you happy dreams to come my friend. Congratulations on your POTD honor. You wrote this with such a pleasant lyrical cadence I enjoyed reading every word and could relate perfectly to growing old. I am putting this into my Faves! Excellent! Blessings xxoo

Good to see poem Of the day Pashang. And I note with a, lucid elusive dream write That touches in spots similarity that others Might have felt, through the numb hands of Night and the intrusions and illusions that Can flow our way.'
