Night of dream dust

sorenbarrett

There is dust on the moon, fire in the sun, star drops falling from the sky
Rust of horizon's gloom, desire begun, tar mops seal a celestial ceiling up high
Watery air, earthy hands hold my feet, scent of wood everywhere
Thin clouds in webs of hair, feathery hands greet blind dreams and share
On the cross of suffering, written words of rhyme that redeem
Comfort, the enemy of poetry, a sleepiness without a dream

                      Made me feel a tad sad mate .. not sure whether it's my age or the weather .. every now and then certain words get me like this .. N

                      • sorenbarrett

                        Sorry didn't mean to sadden you mate. Being a poet you are exposed to lots of words and there is no inoculation for that. I'll have to see if I can find one a little more cheery tough its against me nature. Always love your reviews and would hate to have you quarantine me. Have a great day Neville
