Taken from a dream...


Poem Artwork

Envelopes

Enfolds

Surrounds

Permeates…

 

All life is dead

The dead are alive

Blackness for sight

There is no light…

 

Awaken into the void

Of fearful thoughts

From a dream of deep wrought

Not knowing how to pass it by

Wondering deep down as why

Ability to cry out devoid

All one can do is permanently sigh…

Deep, intense but still the ending says so much of the entire dream...we can awake and sigh that it has left us unscarred...only a bad dream.

Very nice Ed. I'm wondering if the poem inspired the photo or if the photo inspired the poem. They sure go well together.

PS: Glad you're still with us and still have power. Dick

Thanks.

Excellent, Ed. To try and explain the unexplainable has been the curse of poets forever. Good to see that you have joined that not so noble club. Really liked your wordplay.

Reviewed on August 29, 2011
Ed, this has a double meaning for me. Second, it reveals that society has accepted the dark as light. First, it speaks of my own darkness that I struggle with and sigh... thank you for sharing this dream...

In Spirit,
Bear
