Rising Dream

Written 4-4-2021

Slumber is on the horizon
Slowly floating in closer
Lingering with calm patience
As twilight creeps, fading to night

It’s finger massage softly
Relaxing the chaotic mind
Softly probing the brain to drift
Soaring on white moon lite clouds

Feathered onyx wings caress
Wrapping pleasantly with warmth
Guiding with cosmic intent
Stars become nature’s dim night light

Body relaxes with ease
Calming vibrations ripple down
Seeping within deeper layers
Eyes flutter close quietly

Dreams meander near the surface
Whispering hope within the dark
A balm to the aching soul
Longing, rises to the ether

I love the images in this poem, sleepy tale of quiet, relaxation, drifting of the mind into a perfect space; perhaps in a cosmic world where light is dim; moon sleeps stars snooze; where breath is utmost; eyes close slowly and one drifts into slumber. I' getting sleepy!!!
Best, B

I wrote this on an extremely calm night

I adore this one! It makes you feel sleepy just reading it. I love your interpretation, the way you write falling asleep. It's absolutely gorgeous, and I even love to view it as staying up all night while everyone else falls asleep around you. Such a beautiful piece I'll surely be coming back to!

I’m glad you enjoyed this poem with its peaceful quality

drifting off into a deep state of sleep. i like how you so skillfully set the stage. very unique. sleep falls upon and the dream rises up. so cleverly and skillfully told ... :)

[Poetic Beauty]

Thank you I have very vivid dreams

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Beauty... dreams can be a Mystery... that
cannot really be interpreted. It is similar to a parallel Universe.
Or one could think of dreams being shuffled like a "deck of cards"
that may be interpreted in many ways... but we prefer a "winning hand".

I have vivid in color lucid dreams. Sounds smells colts are all present even taste sometimes. My dreams are very interesting

This one is very relaxing to read. Effective imagery conveys the transfer of awareness to sleep. The last stanza, though, indicates some space that needs to be filled, some yearning that has not been satisfied.

[Poetic Beauty]

There is a longing. Many times there is but I felt peaceful when writing this.

[Fran Marie]

A blissful step into
a dreamland of
sweet serenity

enveloped in a cosmic
caress of calm ..I'm
liking the soft light;
free flowing feeling of
this piece ..

Excellent PB! Would make a fantastic audio visualization track. And if I could get Billie Holiday to read it to me, instant bliss!

It depends on the night. I usually wake up once or twice during the night so it just depends.

For those who suffer from insomnia, this is the cure. Nicely-lulling visions to help a person let go of the strife & angst gathered up on the road of life so he/she can stumble into slumber-land. Your words are not only for the insomniac, but also a good antidote for those addicted to the strife & angst as shared incessantly thru-out the public discourse. It would do some neurotics good to read a poem like this to re-connect with the naturally-occurring vibes of peace & acceptance (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

I wrote this poem in the wee hours of the morning right before I was going to bed

This is soothing and one that puts another at ease. It has so much of a calming effect like a balm. You are truly close to nature and dreams.

[Poetic Beauty]

Thank you. I felt very calm when I wrote this poem and I’m glad it was conveyed to the reader

[Sami Khalil]

All true and well said. You are welcome.
