Night Dream

Night Dream

 

When the last sliver of sun

Sinks 'neath the horizon

When all the air is cool

Then can I be

Contentedly

Me, myself, tonight.

 

The city lights gone

And the dusk wears on

The air settles to a chill

But that time is

The time dreams live

With me, myself, tonight.

 

Then I soar like a silent owl

Then I race with the night wind’s howls

I can fly on the wings of the sky

I am me tonight.

 

I am the stars that pepper the night

I am the luminous moon’s pure light

I am the air of the springtime breeze

I am me tonight.

I am the fireflies that gleam and shine

I am the space in a wrinkle in time

I am the flame of a sunset sky

I am me tonight.

I am the mist on a forest floor

I am the frost on a wooden door

I am the warmth of the fire in the hearth

I am me tonight.

I am the lark singing its song

I am the frog croaking for dawn

I am the cricket chirping away

I am me tonight.

I am the deer, alert and shy

I am the fox, furtive and sly

I am the rabbit, curious and stout

I am me tonight.

 

By day I can leap and run and ride

By night I can soar and swoop and glide

But only when I dream my beautiful dreams

Can I be me tonight.

Its amazing! I absolutely loved it.. :D

[Archia]

That's beautiful. I liked all those different aspects, and how they all ended with the same thing, and then how that tied in with the very last sentence. I liked the fifth stanza the most, for me that was the prettiest.

[Lydia]

I really like this. It's very pretty, and it flows well.

[The Scholar]

I love this! :] Great rhythm, great word choice, great poem. I love the idea that dreams "live" at night.
And I feel exactly the way you do.

Your poems seem to have a calming effect. Just like Jazz said, this could just as well be a song. It's really soothing. :) Good job on another great poem!

[Lina Grey]

Love the repitition and rhythm. I agree with Anastasia, it could very well be a song. Wonderful write. Thank you.

[Jasmine Thousand]

I like it, it seems almost like a song to me- but that could just because I've been listening to music for the last eight hours :P-

I like the scheme of the poem, the imagery. Great work!!! :D
