Snapping Branches

my desires
hang golden
like autumn’s leaves

dancing
on the edge
of dreams

snap of reality 
sends them crashing
back down 
grounded 

until
the next 
winded thought 
sends them adrift
again

Excellent, short and emotionally brush stroked with impact-feelings that resonated with me. I wish I could personally lift your thoughts despite admiring all your free verse. I want to hand you a bright, mesmerizing color of joy but I don't know how. Great poem. Poetry hugs ... CayCay

I have a thought...Swooooosh...that was a winded thought. Hope it helps send your dreams dancing again my friend. This was light, happy, smile producing poem. Never stop dreaming, never stop believing.

It turned out beautifully Sandy. You could write a poem with a rock on a sidewalk and it would still be beautiful I would think.
