Sarah’s prompt guidelines
Write a poem:
- Of 14 or fewer lines;
- On the theme of “dreams”
➰➰➰
The waking hours are taken up by practical thoughts
The conversations we have the task we are entrusted with
The mind is too busy assimilating what to do and what to say
It’s the nighttime when the mind is free to wander in the ether
Desires and wishes, fears and apprehension all come to fore
Suppressed wants and hidden yearning takes the form of dreams
A colorful kaleidoscope of swirling images both pleasing and disturbing
Invade the brain while our bodies let go of conscious restrains
Some dreams we recall perfectly, vividly after awakening
Others are lost immediately, just leaving their impression behind
Deciphering dreams is not a task in everyone’s knowledge
Better let them go, to the ether they come from
➰➰➰

Releasing them back to the wild ether is best…some are downright jumbled, not sure I’d WANT to know what message they are trying to relay! Love the kaleidoscope visual, Sadje, beautifully written! 💞💞💞

I enjoy the topic of dreams. Your perspective makes much sense. We break the chains of the day by unwinding in the lap of the ethereal in the wake of dreams. Wonderful post Sadje.

I like that last line. Dreams are of ether… when wakeful stay in the gifted present. 🙂
