Awake Dreams

 

I am silent,  

My awake dreams are screaming,  

Inside me, winter prayers,  

I insist that I am a masterpiece 

And try to create art with it.  

I touch the words, power arises.  

Melodies from another era 

Take my heart away.  

I want to stay close to boundless, 

Endless dreams.  

In an ocean of questions, 

I fall upon the answers.  

My heart is a forest song.  

My soul is the poetry of flawed elegance 

Poured onto hundreds of pages.  

A connection, muse fairies,  

Raven months, always art,  

A world governed by poets.

Floating In Dreams

The weight of the world didn't matter.  

He loved the light, the shadow, 

The melting colors, and the music.  

He could understand 

Where the wind came from,  

From the forest, the blue, 

The delicate scent of flowers, 

The smoke, and the salt.  

The changing cirrus in the sky  

Was the thing shimmering

Between the moon’s fingers.  

In another realm, he was watching himself 

From within his own mind.  

Embracing the neck of time, 

Wandering in its mystery.  

He could analyze and worry about 

Hundreds of things,  

But when a spark turned into a flame, 

He chose to dive into the heat.  

Traveling like the birds in migration,  

He was dreaming colorful dreams.
