A Meditation About Dreams 

Oblivion’s edge
Looking downwards from the moon
Glimpsing into dreams

The interesting “thinks” that came through my brain. 


Memories Unbidden 

Edvard Munch's
Edvard Munch’s “Melancholy”

Memories come
Unbidden

Ghosts of my youth
Painful moments

Choices I’ve made
But not understood

There’s wisdom there
Not just misery

Forgive the boy
That I was

And see inside
My heart

Now I understand
My internalized mind

Echoes of fears and failures
This early spring morn

This Stargazing Youth

As I look upwards
Orion’s belt reminds me
This stargazing youth

So many memories, laying in the grass, eyes skyward, my dreams moving at lightspeed. 

Standing Atop A Mountain: A Haiku 

Standing in the wind
Atop a barren mountain
Alone with my dreams

The dream fades

Lightness
Upon the
Summer breeze
Now an echo
Of a forgotten
Dream

The dream fades

Lightness
Upon the
Summer breeze
Now an echo
Of a forgotten
Dream

Awake, Far Too Early: A Brief Poem 

​Far too early 

To be awake.

Echoes in my mind 

Haunting my dreams 

Dreaming of the Sky

Underneath the rain
The sky above beckons me
Freedom of the sky

Dreaming of Home

I want my home

To be worthy of flowers

Bedecked with candles

And the fragrances

Of breads, sweets

And teas, swirled into

A wondrous blend

Of my heart’s delights

Fearing to Launch

A challenge of mine
As with so many others
Launch my idea


I, for one, find it hard to actually take my ideas, my dreams live. The action of making it real has risk, the chance of failure. Lately, though, I’ve read so very much about the value of failure. I need to work at controlling those fears, ensuring I’m effective and moving forward with accomplishing my dreams.
