Dreams of Solitude

In dreams I seek solace

from the tyranny of days,

where my mind is free

from its mortal coil.

I sit at a freezing summit

looking down at the world,

snow flurries skimming

across a bleak horizon.

In Nordic nights I dance beneath

translucent, shimmering veils,

auroras guarding Heavens,

Norse Gods hidden from sight.

In a vast expanse of blue,

rocking gently in a boat of wood,

watching as water breaks,

I stare into the eye of a whale.

So many wonders to see,

journeys of imagination,

as the first rays of sunlight

summon a new dawn.

Relaxing half-awake dreams? Peaceful and beautiful settings. quite an idea to safely stare into a whale's eye! Rhiannon

Ah thanks for reading it, Rhiannon. Safe to look into a whale's eye if there's plenty of distance between the boat and the giant mammal! Paul :)

Some of my dreams are pleasing but not many, I guess I worry  too much. You create a wonderful dreamscape for the reader  !!!

How I would love to be in your poem, gazing down upon the snow flurries skimming across a bleak horizon.

And In Nordic nights dancing beneath translucent shimmering veils, while auroras guard the Heavens, and Norse Gods are hidden from sight...but know that they're there.

This is so beautifully written and so inspiring Paul. You have a way with words that always touches me.
