amethyst dream

lucid dreaming

I awoke

on a vast amethyst sea

soaking in

the golden sunset

over waves

of brilliant violet

the weight of the world lifting

with the rays of the sun

painting the skies

in dazzling hues

I gathered it,
in a conch shell
I held in my hands

for tomorrows

when the seas get too rough

then I watched as the sun dipped down

behind the horizon

in wistful, swirls of distant sunsets

as the currents carried me away

to a little island

surrounded by pink shimmering sands

where I swayed

in a hammock under the shade

of a coconut tree

paper and pen

and a notebook of dreams

sipping in

the sweet cool waters

of its seed

and bathing
in 
the ambient glow

of amethyst
In the Isle
of my dreams

Author's Note

this was one of the most vivid dreams I've had

This is beautiful, Roma. You published this in 2015… wow. I would have been 13 then--I don’t think I was even allowed on the internet by myself, haha.

Reading it now feels like stepping into a lucid memory I didn’t know I had. Your imagery is breathtaking: a vast amethyst sea, pink shimmering sands, and the quiet magic of a hammock under a coconut tree. There’s a gentle spirituality here, like the dream itself is a sanctuary you can carry with you.

I remember your more recent Amethyst Sea poem, and you mentioned it was inspired by a recurring dream. I see now how vividly and tenderly you hold these moments. It lingers like a sunrise painted across the soul, and I’m so grateful it’s still here for me to experience.

James, your words are so lovely..they make the poem feel new again. Yes, this was an older write from 2015, and it’s wonderful to hear that it still resonates with you now. I’m glad the dreamscape..the amethyst seas, the pink sands, the quiet hammock..came through in a way that felt tender and carrying. Your reflections make me see the poem afresh, like stepping back into a memory I hadn’t noticed myself. Thank you for reading so deeply and so kindly..it means more than I can say.

Roma,
I wonder if anyone has ever studied the brainwaves of someone on a pristine beach as turquoise waves wash over their feet... If they could do that, then teach us how to use biofeedback so we could get there at will, all wars might end...

Thank you, Vol. This is an older poem of mine, inspired by a recurring dream I’ve had of this Amethyst Sea. I’ve written other pieces about this vision as well, and I’ve shared it with my sisters and friends..it’s wonderful to hear that it brings them moments of inner peace, and they even meditate on the imagery of the poem. I’m glad to know it resonates beyond the page; it truly is a place of calm and serenity for me, and I’m happy it can offer a glimpse of that to others as well.

Thank you so much for reading this. It'san old write. . I’m glad the amethyst came through the way I imagined it...it’s a color that always feels both calm and infinite to me, and I wanted the poem to carry that. Your kind words mean a lot.

Sounds like a lovely paradise to visit collect one thoughts, reflect and just take in or get lost in the imagery. You paint a picture so well Roma

This reads like my sister and I's talks when watching all of the beauty God provides in the rising and setting sun. Only He can master those kind of views. Valentine

[RomaJ]

Amen, well said, Valentine.
aw...I miss my sister now, I haven't seen her in nearly 20 years.
