Sometimes I wake up from a dream and wonder for a moment which is reality...

Poem Artwork

 

Dark Dream

 

Dim dreamscape

Dismal

Cold

 

Dark skeletal trees

Crows peering down

 

From a starless sky

Your face appears

 

Your eyes seem sad

Yet

You keep looking at me

Aloofly

Pitilessly

Perhaps disdainfully even

 

Coal black icicles

Beneath your eyes

 

Frozen tears?

 

And then

The stark dark realization

 

I am looking at the mirror

In my soul

 

Those frozen tears

Are not from your eyes

But from mine

 

My heart melts with sorrow

The light goes out

And with it hope

 

I am not feeding the crows anymore

For there’s nothing left of me

So sad. Though I've never had a dream like it that I know of I can identify with the emotion perfectly.

Very well written with an interesting twist.
We are what we see in the mirror, although the mirror is not always our friend.

That sure is dismal. If our dreams are a sorting of our thoughts, then you are experiencing what you have been thinking all along. I certainly hope that something comes along to brighten your world and chase those dreams away.

This sounds more like a dark nightmare you can't wake up from.

A rather sad poem that perhaps we can all relate to; for no doubt we all see ourselves in our dreams one way or another. Very realistic. John

Ah yes, sir, I know that feeling quite well, to awake from a dream and wonder if the dream was reality or fantasy. I seem to do that quite too much in my considered opinion...this one is scary too...-e-

Ouch, it's the weather, don't blame the crows, they too I bet you are hungry for food, and better weather. Indeed the whole poem is very descriptive of your mood, ho, ho, ho, and a bottle of Rum, might be a solutions for a day or so, but better weather and outlook, might come in a form of sunshine, sand and surf,etc bless you.

Dark dream, dark days!
The way the entire world is looking dark,
even the very crows may soon get confuse.
Nonetheless a nice poem and photo,
thanks for sharing, Regis!

Reg ...

Many say that the Crow, or Rook, or Raven,
Is the Smartest of Birds ...
Mayhaps the Crow Knows ?
