I dreamt I was directing,
a fantastic Hollywood production.
Carrying the brightest light of a moonbeam.
It took me to a place,
I had envisioned in the darkness,
when by myself.
Where it’s calm and peaceful.
And the stars were dressed in white.
Silver spangles hanging from
their waste coats.
In the script, it was written
“We merely exist as one”
Showing different sides for
the world to see,
a table moved, skidded
across the linoleum.
My fantastic chair fell …
It brought me to reality,
reveries will do that.

Beautiful! I love the message "We merely exist as one." Dreams bring some truths!
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed this poem very much. 'Waste coats'? Deliberate spelling? If so, it works tangentially.
ReplyDeleteLovely dream of all existing as one... Oh, but the last lines, the chair falling would bring one from the reverie, wouldn't it... LOL.
ReplyDeleteMy fantastic chair fell... Assume you woke up! A dreamy poem!
ReplyDeletelovely dream state! here's mine- http://fiveloaf.wordpress.com/2010/01/15/head/
ReplyDeleteA well structured tale; and full of truth too.
ReplyDeleteSherry, if it were only true, but the harsh reality is that is does not exist. Thanks. There too many hateful people in the world.

Yes, Gordon as opposed to "waistcoat" which wouldn't fit well in the poem and what I am trying to say. It seems sometimes it is futile to try and co-exist with others. Even if they are miles away. Thanks.
