I dreamt, a dream, seeing myself, on a moonless night
Walking through, foggy roads, of darkness
Lone tree stood in a distance
Long wild grass, invades minds with scare
Ancient roads, destiny cub-webbed in doubt
Built long before time, left dormant
Steps I took dis-virgined these paths
Echoes, from the wilderness
Gave fright to forest walkers
There are things out there, in the background
Like opposing forces, sent to derail progress
While destiny lies, in abstract dreams
Success is torch light held, a touch away
Guided by motivation
Driven, by assertion
Then suddenly the dark night
Became overwhelmed by moon light
I dreamt a dream, a' saw myself in a house of glory

your house of glory sounds like a beautiful place to me...love how you built it through out...
ReplyDeleteOoo - love this, stunning imagery and plenty to contemplate
ReplyDeleteI had a dream last night the roof was leaking buckets of water on my head -- that's gotta mean something weird.
ReplyDeleteHope you are happier than your foggy lone-tree dis-virgining dream. :)
