Was it just a Dream

Dove

I just saw my reflection blink

Gazing down upon the stream

In tiny ripples of glittered ink

Oh, could it be just a dream?



I saw my reflection smile

Gazing down upon the stream

Cascading gently and mild

Oh! could it be just a dream?

 

Then spied my reflection dying

Gazing down upon the stream

My blissful eternal soul flying

Or was it just a mixed up dream



I saw my reflection finally fade

Gazing down upon the stream

My blinking last escapade

Before I drowned in my dreams

    I really like the progressive unhurried flow of these words .. from a blink .. to fading away ... so you can paddle another day .... 🙂

  • Dove

    Thanks Neville, this was another poem challenge “ I just saw my Reflection Blink”

    Take care

  • Fay Slimm.

    Yes unhurried and flowing slowly your verse depicts differing depths of dreams and love the girl in the pearl ear-ring you chose to accompany this enchanting rhyme - well done again D.

          oh snap, we both mused on dreaming in our last posts lol,
          I like the angle of the picture and how it makes the pearl more prominent, somewhat like the pearl of wisdom your rhythmic lines are chasing to unmask

        • Dove

          Shall read your dreamy poem ! The pearl has a gleaming quality, a luster like a mirror! Yes her look has a mysterious quality, Wisdom flowing!

          a re-visit .. just because I can .. and because I think these words are more than worth it

        • Dove

          Well thank you kindly Sir Neville, and for you I give a double wink,
          Thanks for the second glance
