Notes About The Poem

Some Dreams Must Be Forgotten

Unpurged sad memories invade my dreams.
How fragile man is despite vain attempt!
Could be the waning moon with dreadful beams?
Useless to look back on sins in contempt.

Wake up my love, Wake up. Look at the sky,
High-freezing clouds fly amassing cold ice
It's the end of night. See the sun is high
Paint the sky blue, so that all will be nice.

Dreams will be forgotten, work we attempt
All shattered thoughts escape in sleepy eye,
Let memories fade and no longer tempt.
At night, soft memories return with sigh.

Andrea Dietrich October 11, 2022 at 3:18 PM this has such a great mood to it, Victor. A very classy poem.

Sally Eslinger October 11, 2022 at 10:55 AM Victor, this piece, as I read it, presents its poet/author as thoughtful, compassionate, realistic, loving, and observant. It also can read as tender advice, similar to the poem you wrote for your daughter. I like your choice of word, the fine imagery. A sage, flowing poem. Hugs………….sally
