Dream-Walk Sunset

...isn't it long past time...

Dream-Walk Sunset

From the Highlands they came.

Even before we saw them

we felt the earth shake.

Drums pulsed,

feet danced

to ancient runes,

to didgeridoo

and haunting pipes;

danced to dreams come true.

000

From the Highlands

to the sea,

marching to those cliffs

over soft white sands

they came.

Magical Fae and Folks of old

traditional ways

where life and death

were just Gaia’s breath

in harmony with the rest,

a dream-walk sunset.

000

Can you see them?

There- they dance

to a sound so bright

you can see it

even in this dark night.

There- they float

on Witch and Fae spells

to set the world right.

There- all those points of light

billions and billions they

march to anciet songs

of magic held in the notes

of the didgeridoo

and pipes.

000

Over the Highlands they came

marching to the sea

and those cliffs

above soft white sands,

magical Fae and Folk of old

traditional ways.

Will we join them

in Gaia’s dream-walk sunset?

Or just watch

as they fade away?

Miss Sharon, nice of you to visit and appreciate muchly your comment...

[Lydia Shutter]

Magical music with words just as enchanting, Curt! I can see them.....through the clouds and semi-darkness. I can almost feel them as they sway and swing. Perhaps they will fade into the sunset, but not from our psyches. A little different sort of poem from you....it drew me in. Very "nice". Lydi**

[redzone]

thanks Lydi, the poem wrote itself as I listened to the music... yeah, magical is a very nice way of sayingt it... but your "nice" comments are very magical when I see them...

[Papaya]

Wonderful poetry, I love the feel and the imagery of this one and the music choice is super.

[redzone]

one thing is for sure, your mind is not or ever will be "closed" especially if you can feel the imagery and like the music... ;0)

[Pryde Foltz]

A work of true art, Curt. Bravo. It aches to be sung:):):)

[redzone]

LOVE THIS ONE!!!! I like the creativity & the way you've woven in cultural aspects with awesome imagery & lyrical tones. I felt like I was there, as I was reading. Very original & a refreshing message in this time of tough struggles everywhere. Thanks for sharing (((HUGS)))

thanks Margie for your review... I was listening to this song last night just before going to bed and this poem started to form in my head... I was too tired to get up and write it down hoping I wouldn't lose it in my sleep, which I usually do... but this morning it was still there and so waa laa it made it to paper and then to a file and then came here...

I am glad you enjoyed it Margie, I thought it came out pretty good... but it was the song that inspired it..

[barleygirl]

Songs are great inspiration! I often get my best ideas while watching live performers on TV. I keep a notepad by my bed, cuz I can't rely on my memory to keep ideas til morning! *smile* But then I have to remember to check my notepad every once in awhile! (((HUGS)))

funny how we write isn't it... most times poems just come all at once... sometimes I write down a few lines and then have these notes but often thats all they are just notes, lines that never go any further... and for the most part they do get lost over night.. or anytime I don't write down or write the whole poem... anyway we each have our ways of writing... ;0)
