Just dream away all that you might…slowly like eagles flight.
Listen to words that sound so bright…but only extinguish the light.
In time when all is gone…life seems to be shredded and your heart torn.
Dream away to the place you where born…to escape the sadness in mourn.
You will meet and you will lose…and very often have to choose.
Times you feel low and up there so high on booze…burned out like a short fuse.
Accommodate to a life so far from you…just like everybody else too.
Dream away in senses so blue…someday one of them may really come true.
Bringing back memories with a sound or smell…sometimes even hell.
The ringing of the distant bell…it will probably never make you feel well.
There may be so many things still at rest…all hiding behind the crest.
Dream away like the child inside your chest…to times when life was best.
Just dream away to the street of you first crush…thoughtful you listen to the hush.
To the bending of time you feel the rush…your cheek in blooming blush.
Doing nothing is getting you nowhere…hearts broken in our small sphere.
Dream away your nights here…will always prevent you from getting there.
Insightful, lyrical and entertaining.
A poignant and captivating work strongly reminiscent of some of the singer-songwriters of the ’70’s.
Thank you very much dear Louis…your insight serve you well and as always your statement hits bullseye 🙂
stunning…let me excerpt with how i feel reading your poem…
heyday moments molded in space
commune heart and soul with grace
destined in the phase of nowhere
let the glory be a bond to bear
head not upon the dawning
for stars to keep on shining
illuminating nights to dream away
sighting only visions to forever stay
Thank you so much Suzette. and wow what a epilog you wrote for the poem. In life we nearly always forget to live now but always look back in a dreamlike state or dream away into a bright future…bu we can only exist in this very moment we are in right now…enjoy what you have each day and praise what you have. Thank you 🙂
