I love connections – might have mentioned that before. 😉 In my blog reading this morning – long overdue – I wrote of a dream on waking, read of a dream then, inspired by Simon’s lovely poem, wrote this.
forgotten times, alternate rhymes,
dreams within the dreams,
suspended reality, sweet illusion,
nothing as it seems.
escapists’ art, all words impart,
dreams returned to dust,
daytime serves frugality
to dreamers, as it must.
but, come the day, the sleep it holds,
serving all our need,
our nightly visions, voyeured charm,
providence will feed.
Lovely, and thank you for the link. You didn’t need to do that ☺

Honour where it’s due. It only came to me after reading yours. Seems there were a few of us who went to sleep in dream mode or woke in the same. 🙂

Beautiful and inspiring too. If only we could capture the emotions – and indeed the details – of our dreams.

I know. They’re so elusive on waking. Very frustrating at times. Except on the occasions when they linger and provoke poems. 🙂
