When Morning Yawns

A whirlwind of thoughts stir up silence As uneven depths of despair Paint bright yesterdays and pale tomorrows A night filled with wandering addicts, Their eyes speckled with the gloom of gray Dreams colliding with reality On fluffy clouds where they trip out Love is as distant as a light year As they drift off, lost in the stars They have lost their garden of serenity Time slips them wrinkled expressions And if their slumber is too deep They will not awaken from night's cocoon when morning yawns.... 2-16-19

Going in one's sleep maybe wouldn't be so bad. Enjoyed reading your work. If for a contest, reads like a good contender to me. Sara

Isn't it sad, that when we have a happy dream we do not want to wake up with a morning yawn but if we have a bad one, seem trapped in it, wake up, know its only a dream but become disturbed. Love happy dreams and love your poem Joseph. Poetry hugs Jennifer.

As the world lingers in truth, yes- the reality of it all. It seems this beautiful dream you embrace. Love lifting you even higher, as you caress each moment. Not wishing to wake, even as the morning yawns. Stay in that dream. :) Brandy

I like this line, " Time slips them wrinkled expressions".

There is no greater folly then to try to be reasonable with love.
