Dreams of Reality

Dreams of Reality
Each door leads to the same final destiny…

Head upon pillow
dreams of reality bittersweet.
Daily walks through life,
avoiding what may come
through  midnight dreams.
Sleep in peace often means,

                       death by the streams.

Knocking upon realities door.
“Yet, no answer.” Always the same as before.

Dreams, my reality
waiting for the clock to strike
as I walk upon deaths shore.
Awaken with new abrasions;

 upon my soul and a wounded heart

                                for your future,  I now behold.


When the clock chimes at four
Your life, shall be known here…
                                      Never more.

    Thank You!!

    Thank You for Your entry: Dreams of Reality
    This piece tugged hard at Spirit and while I was reading which I did several times...
    kept hearing: Poe...Poe- and shown his gravesite with reference to the last line in Your piece but also to Dark reality but not the Dark that some may think...
    I am being shown Life also Death which feels
    as if ...Dreams can Immortalize Life but when not given
    enough oxygen can also bring forth Death~
    being shown a balloon blown up and then let go
    Interestingly enough I am being shown salmon...
    going upstream...with bears waiting but they don't stop
    swimming
    Love the border and rhyme~
    Powerful images You have brought forth

    These lines grabbed and pulled~
    Knocking upon realities door.
    “Yet, no answer.” Always the same as before.:
    Magnificent take on the prompt~

    Thank You for sharing Your Heart also Spirit!
    Best wishes to You in the contest Sweet Soul
    **Judging will be done shortly...
    Many blessings too
    and much love~ Desire~*~~*~

    I loved this. Beautifully woven and wonderfully connected to the pic, I find it amazing how one can look at a picture and in words, tell a tale. Awesome write!

    This is beautifully penned, abstract and thought provoking. I found it to be a fast read and a true attention grabber.

    Love,
