The Threads of Dreams

The Threads of Dreams

I tossed all keys and chains
Cast the rigged dice of fate
Fled to the fields dancing
Jumping fences barefoot 
To meet the rising sun

A stream of daisies
Bountiful blond wreath
Joined in celebration   
Wrapped around my head
And my mind launched
Into a dazzling search on 
A sea world cloaked 
With the illusory threads of dreams
Teeming with intoxicating stories 
Promises of escape . . . 

But already everything 
Fades and eludes me
And gently I fall back
 Into sleep’s 
silent embrace.

Laura Leiser Date: 3/29/2017 10:36:00 PM Loved the wonderful exuberance in your poem, Anne Marie! I especially liked the twist at the end where you reveal that this was just a dream...excellent, 7. :) Login to Reply Anne-Marie Coreggia Date: 3/31/2017 5:02:00 PM I'm glad you liked it. To be honest Laura, this is my exuberance for life I guess that shows in my 'failed' attempt at dreaming. I just can't remember a single dream, so I'm dreaming awake:)

Emile Pinet Date: 3/29/2017 11:16:00 AM Your words manage to capture a state of being and paint it with vivid images onto the paper before the dream vanishes from our sphere of appreciation. Emile.
