Day Dreams

by Michael D Nalley   Aug 14, 2006


Rampant confusion through dreams that cry
Tasteless diffusion causes me to sigh
Ignorantly roping the stars that fall
Blissfully hoping to see them all

Only the earth's shadow cast at night
Reveals to me these points of light
Infinite celestial suns in infinite spaces
Too far away to shed light on our faces

Order from chaos illuminate from the dark
As the effect of time leaves its eternal mark
Mind in matter, or is it the matter in the mind
That compels us to search for the truth we find?

If I cannot reach heaven let heaven come to me
When I look past the clouds blue sky is all I see
Turn from the sun as the earth does, it is just a way
To dream of the hopeful future of a new day

    ((I loved all these lines...They spoke with such words that most cannot say. Great job.))

    I really enjoyed this... Honestly, I would -love- to see you write a dark poem. If you do, or have one you think I would like, please tell me. I think you'd be amazing at it..One about death of such. You could write it better than anyone I know, I'm sure. Anyways, a wonderful write you have here, just like away. Simply beautiful.

    Very beautiful. The flow seemed a little forced in places. But not enough to take away from the beauty of the poem. Very well done.
