When the Moment Came

This is part of a new collection of poems I'm working on that are about dreams I've had.

The hour was dark when I woke in bed

rising to restlessly gaze out towards the moon

whose candle poured dripping wax upon the streets,

lighting the shadows with fire.

I observed it with awe as I longed

deeply to see the sight of similar settings,

the pondering impregnated me with curiosity

and my sanity set as I strolled outside into

the uncertainty of the vacant night,

heart beating more wild

with each different sight brought from my steps.

My stubborn soles could not stop,

they galloped freely towards the vast

down land’s different paths

until I came to the sands of a shore tinted softly

with the birth of morning light.

Dawn danced dressed in vivid silk

to the music of waves swaying,

frolicking through the fields of the sky

in crimson hue, glistening off the fabric of nature

to reveal waters freckled with sparkle,

with mountains of saffron sand.

Blossoms woke behind me,

unfolding plum shaded petals rising from

the swerving hips of grass’ blades.

My soul begun to mirror the world around me,

becoming the tango of trees,

the innocence of the precious petals,

the glide of the waves,

and I became aligned with the setting-

the moment I had been waiting for 

for all of my life.

This collection of dream poems reminds me of
That of Beowulf and Milton's paradise lost etc,
Not in the same greatness, but reminds me of
It. Your dreams are your adventures, unaware of
where it will lead you. Or even to whom it will lead to.

The poem painted a picture for me as I read, and it was beautiful! What a dream!!

this was vivid and hypnotising work, i sure like this one a lot! you've crafted such a great poem here, really vivid and picturesque work.

"My soul begun to mirror the world around me,
