A Dream Song~featuring Kenia Cris~

Art by Kenia Cris (For Sunday Challenge @ Toads


A Dream Song

No song for you
but singing still
in the dawn of day
with a weathered chill.

From the inside perch
of my dreaming eye
to the hazy clouds
of my brains dream sky.

The wind is still
and the air is sweet
the red chair waits
for my dreaming feet.

Grab my paper boat
with illusion-ed hand
sail it through the air
of those thoughts I hadn't planned.

  1. Yey...we chose the same picture ~

    I like these lines best:

    the red chair waits
    for my dreaming feet

    Throw those paper boats with your thoughts ~

  5. I'm glad you chose the collage to go with this piece. :) I love it!

    Paper boats are very significant to me and I've written many poems about them. The collage represents a moment of rupture and distance from my dreams.
