Original Poem For When Life Feels Like a Dream
Our lives can sometimes feel like a fairy tale, when we momentarily lose our bearings -- where we've come from and where we are going... This is a poem for those dream-like moments:
Sometimes, after the rain, returning home
the night is like a dark dew-speckled rose
and somewhere, in between all that velvet
of those petals, we no longer are sure
How we got here or who’ll greet us at the door
which indeterminate shape or tormenting love
will receive us with an embrace or ashen kiss
amid the mist and great potpourri of spirits
Will it be wife, mother, lover or yet another
shadow figure we’ve buried in a dream, or not yet met
such as the child who played hide and seek too well
long after everyone had moved on, into adulthood.
