I want to go

to those places

where old friends

flirt with my dreams,

 

their faces

emanate from

a fountain of

past memories,

 

each varying globule

bursting – overflowing

with chance meetings,

places I've never been before,

 

night scenes flicker

like sunlight through

slightly parted curtains

creating new worlds,

 

I am the traveler;

not a drifter, I'm

submerged in my

own acting role.

Yet again, another absolutely phenomenal piece, short yet certainly more than sweet! The gorgeous imagery really captures the reader and administers a sense of walking back through memories and moments, the title alone creates a beautifully philosophical and contemplative aura. The overall atmosphere is beautifully pensive and reflective. A truly remarkable piece!

It took me a little while to get into your thoughts here, Jenny. I think I thought you were remembering places and people, but now it seems like mixing memories of people you'd love to meet again, with creating new places for dream travelling with new meetings. I liked 'night scenes flicker like sunlight through slightly parted curtains creating new worlds'.

Hi Rhiannon,

you're right with your second thought. I've been dreaming a lot about friends and family from my past, even going back as far as the 1960s. Each night when I'm dreaming they appear and we  travel to different places I've never been before, It's so nice to be with them again, if only in my dreams.

Thank you so much for reading, oh, yes, I'm glad you liked the line about the sunlight flickering creating new worlds.

It's always good to hear from you and I do appreciate your thoughts.

Lovely poem Jenny. Our Spiritual dreams where we meet our loved ones / friends. Slightly  parted curtains, a gap between this world and the Spirit-World. I do it all the time. Beautifully written. I love poems like this. Thank you. Geraldine

Hi again Geraldine,

it's so great to know you enjoyed this poem so much that you came back to it again. I too agree one hundered per cent that dreaming is like going to a place called Summer-land.

It is so great to be able to see old friends that have moved on, and even people that have had an impact on your life.

Thank goodness for dreams and for sharing your thoughts.

Many thanks.
