A Blanket of Dreams
i find myself wanting
to wrap myself in the
blanket of dreams
I have spun out for myself
during the long afternoons
spent alone
this blanket
its a plane of existence
with which
I can feel successful
if I could trade my dreams in for poems
perhaps
the time will have been
well-spent
and if not,
at least i will have entertained myself well
a blanket of dreams
can be woven by
the most inarticulate craftsman
in colors floating
within the periphery
of eye
an undulation subtle
of the air surrounding me
at any given time
a catching of a thought
prismatic
as it explodes forth
in colors
the love of the possible
rather
than the need for the practical
a juggling act
as warp and weft combine
weaving this blanket of dreams

Love the rhythm and the idea of dreaming...and yes, it's such a juggling act, isn't it...trying to achieve those dreams...
ReplyDeletealways love the possible...and keep spinning those blankets of dreams as well....a day there is well spent...and i am sure you can find poems in them as well...much like this one...
ReplyDeleteOn that note I believe I will head off to weave my blanket of dreams...such a lovely poem to soothe me off to sleep.
