But A Dream
by Laura Via → (All Poetry by Laura Via)

I grasp at the air in hopes of
catching a distant memory to
cling to.

A jaded butterfly that floats upon
the currents of air, fluttering wings
that carry my despair.

Butterflies ...

A cherished memory that I hold
so very dear. Close to my heart
those words do stay, the emotions
never truly coming to light within
them.

Alas, you were but a dream.

If only I could fall back asleep and
see your face there. To know those
emotions again, instead of this heartache.

Childhood glories that once came to
light when we spoke and I knew then
what true love was. Yet, now I know
that such misguided fancies are false.

Alas, you were but a dream.

The butterflies shall never return,
for they were of you, a dream of
true love that shall never come true .

Fine writing Laura, emotion packed. Some dreams take a long time to come to fruition, maybe this is one.

I hope you get some snow tomorrow that is expected; could be fun to play in and bring back a sweet dream.

peace

Prosetry at Work by Odin odin@aflx.com

This book represents a thirty-day period of my poetry journal. Each poem addresses the dominant thoughts occupying my mind during the early morning hours of a given day.
