Holding it all in your palm!!!

... your minor changes make this much clearer to my way of thinking: wasn't it "columns" insted of "peaks" to start with? That creates a play on the title: dreams peak(s), which therefore ties the thoughts together. Like Roger, I love the daliance with classicism or the scriptural, standing at the Pillar of Address and speaking, as it were, to each of your "mountains" in turn. And, after all this perceived "bottling up", I like that you could hold in your palm the sum total of all that you wanted/needed to say: for if God only needed 4 words to create each day, why need we more?! Hmmmm... on second thoughts, elaboration is good. Glad you got this off your chest, Amigo; seems like being caught between a rock and a hard place, otherwise! :)) xx

If I had to live by the old rule that says engage brain before opening mouth I'd be a lot quieter than I am, and I'm pretty quiet. My synapses run at a snail's pace so I'm far better off writing than speaking even if somebody is listening. I liked this one. Patrick

OMG...this is fabulous...yes Fabulous!!!

I love all the comments, the reviews, the coloratura, and your climactic expressions, you forment a torrent of silent absolutions, a masterful expression, of what's near and dear to you in your private virtual reality, as always, good to the last drop.
Bless you, Jasmin Horst

Unable to elaborate but still a climactic ending.

What better place is there to voice our chosen words but in our dreams, our safe haven, our own nirvana. Sometimes if you dream it, it can become reality, it is all in what you perceive it in order to receive it. wow a poetry rhyme..lol
anyway, as always, thought provoking words from the master poet!

Dream a little dream of .....whatever you feel you need to say, hear or touch. Reach out and let someone hear your splendid voice, saying what you really need to say to them, it can be quite a lift of a burden that one may feel is holding them back.
Dreamscape away!!

Peace, light, and love,

" without anything to say,
I was bursting with thoughts to speak" -

amazing how thoughts can mount up like that, dreamspeak releases them nicely :)

Ive been in that position Jude...so many words in my head, but frustrated because they just won't come out....

Such be an irony that silence is golden,
but perhaps just a few words from a poet
will do!! Seeing You *Jude*

Still cookin' with fire here Bob, always do I enjoy to read your verbal diatribes & though they may not be thunderous, they certainly reach each of us that read them...hope you're staying warm up there north of NJ...;-)e

What rich imagery you leave the reader with!
I have trouble with words myself, both in dreams and out of them, as words communicate only so partially what I want to express.
Blessings,
Christine

Dreams often lead to one's ability to share what they need to share in order to heal. Sometimes it is not the words that are important but the need to share, even if we don't know what we are sharing :-)

in other words I hear you :-) without words spoken.........

Sometimes it is a clarity that fades to indifference, once we awaken. I could feel that sense of frustration that happens in dreams when we cannot completely control the situation. Very nice, Jude.
Take care,
Sherry

VERY thought provoking...

Yep, thank for the new word from the swamps of Louisiana. Dreams can befuddle and exasperate the most sane person. but they are particularly evil to poets I have found out. This poem goes a long way in proving my point. Coloratura. Gotta love it . . .

ahh the proverbial rhetor's dream: how to select from the panoply of... the plethora of... the panagyrics... the fluent foray into... ohhh... it's on the tip of my tongue... if only dreams could speak!?

Seriously, though, I like the classical nod in your closing.

You say it after the fact, so to speak. Thanks for the new word, coloratura. I must say that I am, “full of it.” Every once in a while. It helps to speak, or write it out to get rid of it.
