Vagabond Dreams

Evening's glow means supper is over and it's time for my pipe and tobacco to find my porch where I will sit alone and the only sound is the creaking of my chair as I rock back and forth to watch sunsets in the skies of absorbed light giving rendered edges to starlights dim rotating across the vast expanse like a slow carousel as my soul rides along hoping to be granted access to wandering dreams unimagined nor dreamt by gatherers whose needs are to reap man-made objects of no importance and fighting to see who ends up with the largest pile as others argue among themselves over large swaths of Earth that they can never own I would rather sit and smoke my pipe and catch the wandering dreams of silent rapture and wishful treasure at the end of a long day 8/29/21 contest Vagabond Dreams sponsor Craig Cornish

Frederic, congratulations on your win with this peaceful picture of evening. I can hear your rocking chair and smell your pipe smoke. I like this picture of a choice to be serene and "catch the wandering dreams" undreamt. All the best,

Wow! Congrats! Thanks for sharing this in your awesome poetic style... making me nostalgic of my Dad who "would rather sit... and catch the wandering dreams of silent rapture and wishful treasure at the end of a long day" thankful to the Lord for His grace. God bless you.

Thank you for your warm welcome, Frederic, and as always, you prove to be one of my favorite poets on PS. Your words to me are sent back to you two fold. This poem transported me to sit along with you on your front porch, watching the sun go down, and reflecting on what matters most. Lovely it is! :)
