O life
At dawn you greet us with bird songs, energise our spirits, with the first rays of sunlight, to overcome the hurdles on our paths, to steel our resolve against your vicissitudes. At noontide you sweeten our pain of daily struggles, rekindle our dying desires with the warmth of the sun, allure us with the sweetmeats of hope, and display the illusionary rainbows to our heart's contentment. At eventide we eat the bread kneaded by our sweat, drink the wine of our desires, draw the comfort for our tiring bodies, and prepare to sow new seeds of hope in the fields of our dreams. Then next day, again, besotted by your seductive baits, hypnotised by your new dreams, we forget your deceitful nature, we forget the approach of your unbecoming sister. ©️ https://www.poeticnoesis.com/ A dream
We are sitting, in a dream, On a wooden bench. During the day I carried the image Of my dream: the face Of the pond, the dewy eyes Of the evening, the soft-mouthed Breeze, the freshness Of the air, the fragrance Of the moment, the flutter Of the fallen leaves, The twittering of birds, And the warm touch Of your hand. As the evening approaches, Carrying the weight Of my dream, I concur Dreams float free, like buoys, In the deep sea of our minds, Pointing to our sunken Past, our hidden desires. ©️ https://www.poeticnoesis.com/ |
