My dreams are safe

Insured in all the

Tinted buds of spring

I’m reassured, I hear

In every skylark’s trill

The aria of my dreams

 

The watercolour stains

On precious wisps

Of petal veins contain

The tincture of my dreams

And every blossom scent

Is what I always wished

 

On nimble breaths of wind

The scatters of my dreams

Are cast in silva glades

And glistening trees

In every spirit shade

Of what it feels to be alive

 

You cannot touch my dreams

They’ve sailed

Beyond the glassy mirrors

Of our time

My dreams are flames

To light my darkest days

Your contented dreams seem to be encouraged by your delight in the detail you notice in the beauties of nature. Written in a dreamy, contented way. Rhiannon

Thank Rhiannon, I think if you can appreciate nature then you can always be satisfied - to a certain extent..

Some parts of us are sacred and remain safe and untouched; they can be seen by us in nature. A lovely read.

Hi hoalarg1, thanks for your comment, I agree some things are locked down and in that respect we are all lucky.

Holarg I find this statement very interesting, is it ok if I try to write about it?

 

Submitted by hoalarg1 on

Sure.

Beautiful poem, you express so well the seeming fragility of Spring but also how it's actually very strong, as it has overcome the darkness of Winter, just as the flames of your dreams overcome dark times. It makes me think of those ink paintings on thick cool paper with such bright rainbow colours sometimes merging into something new and tiptoe fragile, sometimes intensely themselves

Thanks Di_Hard I tried to express that nature outshines our dreams in many ways and as Hoalarg mentioned those things are sacred and cannot be touched because they are reflected externally. I wasn't sure if the last line was a bit of a cliche..

Submitted by Jane Hyphen on

Hi Elsie, thank you. Spring is such a magical time for me..although it doesn't feel too springlike out there.

you cannot touch my dreams. I hope that's true.

Technically it's not true but you can use all the smashed up bits and fashion them into another dream.
