inside my small tent
ancient melodies recalled
rain taps a sweet song

Fireblossom Friday – “Perchance to Dream”

it’s all about those night time dreams in the Garden

Web of Dreams

held to this earthly life
by filaments of spidered
dreams I spin through
layers of night each
a web of its own
chasing lions through burning buildings
trying to find a lost locker combination
wearing only my slip –
until the rising
sun breaks the spell
that kept me captive to the dark

sadness

Carpe Diem #1028 “sadness”

what a great quote as our inspiration –
[…] “Sadness is but a wall between two gardens.” […] Khalil Gibran

on the other side
flowers bloom with abandon
my garden weeps
