Notice of absence from arqios
Be kind….
…. words don’t rewind
Be kind….
…. words don’t rewind
O dream, is this your quiet end we see,
With shadowy sheets that cover all we knew?
Dark, shining lips purse in final decree,
Pointy ears prick skyward, bidding adieu.
Corn stalks stand, pondering the night's last gleam,
Silent fields murmur, a soft, mournful sound,
In streams where bream lie belly-up, we dream,
Of days unbroken, where hope still is found.
Yet in your passing, dreams are not all lost,
For in the dawn, new visions softly tread,
And though we ponder what this night has cost,
We linger in the twilight, thoughts unfed.
O dream, though shadows mark your twilight call,
New dreams will rise, and we shall dream them all.

Buried in this beautiful complex rhyme scheme lies the metaphor of life itself under the covers of dreams and this life is a dream itself at least so said Poe In his poem, a dream within a dream. The flow of this poem is quite classic, and it is polished with internal rhyme. Most beautiful poem.
Dreams are mostly internal, at least to start off with until they are externalised experiences! Nice. Thanks kindly🙏🏻
A wonderful sonnet on dreams, my friend. We still don't know a whole lot about the mind and dreams are both a known, universal phenomenon and a mystery all at the same time! Loved this poem and its an easy fave. Well done, friend! 🌹👏
Thanks Tristan 🙏🏻 What sticks out to me is what some say about dreams being the mind’s filing cabinet, defragging the thoughts of a day.
Yes. That is what makes most sense to me too! 🙂 Sometimes I wake up appreciative of that function...other times not so much! LOL! But in the end...it is better some stuff gets sorted out that way, I suppose! LOL! Who knows what the alternative would look like! 😱 LOL! You are welcome, my friend. This was a very though-provoking sonnet and ode indeed!
Beautiful
Thanks Tony 🙏🏻
You're welcome
methinks, if this is a sonnet, then it is a very good sonnet .. methinks
Cheers N 🙏🏻
Truly tremendous.
Thanks TWC 🙏🏻
The rich quality of the dream I remember seems to fade gently, but the underlying mood or feeling lingers longer.
A sonnet I found quite personal to me and felt satisfied after.
Much obliged to you for sharing that. So glad that we still can touch and connect in a growingly detached media-veneered socialisation. Thanks kindly 🙏🏻
Pointy ears and lingering bc and hope and dreams all in a concise piece where every word drives home. I liked it
Be thankful you have relatively sedate dream awakenings. Mine can be reactive, often accompanied by screams and cursing. Nice write.
Have those too something, night terrors and such. But that’s for another poem 😜
Wonderful words arqios, may our dreams be filled with joy and love.
