Some Dreams

Some rivers yearn to cascade and gush forth
Merging into a robust and resplendent sea
Some wander away, lashing into the wilderness
Meandering off course, wanton, wild with fury
Some waves long to surge and spray the heavens
With an aqueous awning of pearls, as they leap
Some waves recede gently, yielding their glory
To the quiet depths of a vast, boundless deep
Some dreams chance upon a cosmic tryst
Of an auroral sky with a golden dawn sweeping nigh
Some dreams linger for a faint ray of a fulgent morn
Waning in a shadowy umbra, slowly dimming to die
Some sojourns lit by flames of enduring love
Find warm havens of bliss, safe sanctums of trust
Some drift to fade as aimless shadows of dusk
As an ever-rolling die is cast, as dust to dust is lost

You have both a good eye and a mighty pen ... a most impressive poem and one that lingers in my mind long after the initial visit ... very much enjoyed my friend :)

I kind of felt enchanted on your bevy of words displayed to accurately portray your thoughts that in itself is a very creative challenge of intellect well done

A very visually descriptive poem, Sabrina. The joint imagery of watery waves and dreams just seems to relate very well together. With each line you present a different image and imprint it in your readers mind. I am a fan of water but not too fond of dreams. I much prefer dreams that can be made in reality. Such an interesting style. 💛

What stands out for me here is your imagery which is unique and stunning. And its totally you because I haven't read anything remotely similar elsewhere. You bestow many a breathtaking visions upon a dream and make them very alluring and seductive to me. I'm becoming a fan, Ms. Sabrina. I'm sure glad I found you and your never like anything before poetry.

Beautiful description here of the movement of water. I am particularly fond of rivers and their journey to the sea. I liked the moods in this write and also the energy and power of the river's flow.

With an aqueous awning of pearls - what a delight that was Sabrina.

Fabulous write.

I really love that last line, This is a very good write. I really enjoyed this. Awesome

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Full of metaphorical descriptions. I could see the bodies of water and in particular the raging sea as the foam and lashing waves create those 'aqueous awning of pearls'. There is good balance and pace and intrigue in this as we are taken on a journey of discovery and mystery.

The amount of detail you crafted to the imagery with your words are impressive. You take the reader by the eyes and show them things, rivers, dreams, meaning and a good time reading. Tyfs

Some fine imagery in this one, Sabrina. It's multi layered and nicely rhymed. Your choice of language and words are nicely advanced and suit the dream theme with an overall flowing effect with the repetition and rhyme. Usually I am not a huge fan of scenery painting poetry; i find the imagery is often overused and the meaning of a poem is lost in translation. It takes skill to find that middle ground from my experience, so i hope you can maintain clarity with your skilful use of imagery filled lines. I enjoyed the read.

This poem is packed with beautiful imagery, I can't really decide on a favorite part. The whole poem is painted with incredible craftsmanship, well done, MH.
