Come Dream With Me

 

 

 

 

Against the stone I lay my head

The dreams brisk though my mind

Shapes and colors, oh so divine

Right here is where I shine

 

Blades of grass, a slight purple hue,

Silver clouds, peace inclined.

Trees that whisper and sing to me,

I am one of a kind.

 

I’ve dreamed of dark and shallow graves,

and flowers wince they came.

I’ve dreamed of shepherds gone astray,

the sheep are marred and lame.

 

I see the thunder strike the earth,

And start new life with in.

I’ve seen life; wasted, consumed,

about the mortal sin.

 

My dreams are simple and revered.

They see both sides of life.

I dream that you might dream with me,

And set aside your strife.

 

So come with me, lay down your head,

And set your cares aside.

Against the stone release your mind.

The ropes of life untied.

Beautiful artwork and strong words.
"My dreams are simple and revered.

Very nice! Beautiful imagery and language. Well done!

[Becky]

Wonderfully written. Seriously. Just simply beautiful, though the pictures kind of annoyed me. Maybe put them all at the end/beginning or make them smaller? I dunno if you can do that, I've never tried to use pictures.

Great write! 100/100

Thank you and this is the first time I set a picture within the writing...I did it on purpose.

An excellent marriage of images, sounds, stanzas and thoughts...! Nicely written and illustrated, bringing the illumination of elements truly spellbinding.

I agree with E.L......sometimes we need poetry like yours to feel good....to be enlightened...and most impotant...to be inspired. Keep shining your light on writerscafe...we luv it!

Oh yeah, I could use some of your light tonight sister... thank you... I feel dark lately. And it has all to do with my health.

This has a delicate Celtic ambiance. It comes again and again back to druid like symbols; trees,thunder, stone. This is exquisitely written. Bravo!

[Kimberly "Melody" Carney]

Sometimes I swear I was a Celtic Hedgewitch in my past lives!...if you know what that is.

I do not understand Gaelic. :( So wish I did. Please tell me what you said.

Simple stuff..in the Scots Gaelic...I'm a proud Scot Highlander, my name is Brian McFarlane...Agus, thu tha an bean mihlis

ahhh, I see! I am 3/4 Irish and 1/4 Dutch. Only 7 generations have lived here in the United States. A large family feud between my mother’s side that I guess were Hedge witches and the other Catholic. My mother a Christian separated us from all that is to be known about my family. I don't even know of what part of Ireland we are from. So sad, if you ask me.

[ba_mcfarlane]

It is nice to know, but really, the world is shrinking, our individual tribal origins are nice to know about, that is about it. We don't live back with whatever ancestors. We are all together in this dangerous modern world, together. We are all the same. All of us need to knock down the walls now.

[Kimberly "Melody" Carney]

I agree in every way, just wish I could have learned about were I was from and my family as well, the rest is as dust.
