sailing on a skiff of dreams
the ferryman standing watch
you soar untethered
‘mong the clouds of wonder
to magical mystical ports of call
where all imagined is in your grasp
if only you could stay the course…
but fast – daybreak approaches

The Final Dream…
•
caught in the final dream
called forth by the ferryman
spirit stirs to the distant voice
readies for the journey
one foot still in this mortal realm
soul resigned to embarkation
time folding in upon
as slow you approach the light

I can wait a little longer for this dream.
I like The wonderous Dream – sadly all good things come to an end… or do they…?
I love this, Rob! Very nice! And the Blade Runner Blues background music is perfect!
Great ending:
time folding in upon
as slow you approach the light
I think it’s interesting that you focus on the light in all three poems you wrote to this prompt. I had trouble getting past the blue jeans.
I could see so much imagery in this. Excellent.
In both of these, I especially love the closing stanza….excellent. Love the pacing and rhythm.
What is the saying about “great minds think alike”?
You did a much better job with the idea of dreaming than i did, though!
A beautiful response to the prompt. Your poem pairs with the photo very well. I also like how you juxtapose the temporal dream with the final dream (i.e. the nightly dream with the final exit out of the body). Well done.

Enjoyed these a lot.

Absolutely beautiful!
Rob,
I love the mystical journey of this poem. Very nice indeed!

I like the sense of adventure evoked here, Rob.
I loved the first poem – beautiful, has a sense of impermanence …
