MEMORIES AND DREAMS

Michael Edwards

 

MEMORIES & DREAMS 

 

Tides that flowed in rising squall

set deep in vaults of chapters time

where waves engraved the memory

and fed the flames of past recall.

 

Captured in a sonnets rhyme

expressed in trespass on his soul

like fish through ruptured nets escape

he straddled crumbling walls of time.

 

Grasping dreams beyond restraint

where only angels feet once trod

beneath a sickle moon unseen

he listened to the rain.

    • Michael Edwards

      Thanks Kevin - I do have to work on these more serious pieces - there will be more but only as and when they are written.

    • orchidee

      A fine write and pic M. Erm, some are not that serious on Sundays. They can be 'happy-clappy' churches. But they're respectful and reverential though, in their way, as well as more formal churches.
