Forgetting the past
Just living in the moment
Letting God carry
You to rise above and beyond
What you might ask or think
Tanka
Who were you
Back in those days
When dreams were
Freshly built
To last for a lifetime
On foundations strong?
Who are you
In this present day
Weary worn
Storm ridden
Yet still standing with your dreams
On foundations strong

Things lost
Things broken
Things we’ve found
Things of beauty
Things chosen in haste
Things we’ll treasure forever
Things we let go to slip away
Things broken by their use or misuse
Things left behind, forgotten, unwanted
Things dreamed about yet never received
Things dreamed about that we’ve achieved
Things we never wanted but got
Things that rose up like weeds
Things we kept to appease others
Things we threw away
Things we’ve loved
Things we miss

Etheree/Reverse Etheree
Be a day dreamer,
For its been said that
Those awake
Can achieve!
Dreaming with eyes wide open
Can be dangerous!
Shadorma
All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible. — T. E. Lawrence
Where shall I go
With this bag of dreams
I must choose steps
That will transport me
To the reality
Of an empty bag
Syllabic Verse
Floating
But going nowhere
On my river of dreams
It’s only by paddling I move
