Dreams

A Poem by Ben Campbell
"

An odd analogy I decided to turn into a poem.

"

Dreams are like soap bubbles.

They float freely and gaily.

Going where wind takes them.

Wondrous and tempting.

 

But to catch one is never easy.

Grab too quick, and the bubble will burst,

A major chord turned minor,

 And falls apart.

 

But reach too slow,

And it floats away

Never to be seen Again

 

Catch one, and you are cleansed

But it takes more than one.

What a beautifully, -dreamy- poem this is. It literally feels as though you're dancing along in a dream when you read this. The delicate nature and lightness of the soap bubble analogy work really well in capturing the essence of a dream. I love this.
