Lost in the wishes

~

 

Daydreams and daffodils dance in the twilight,

woven in sunsets of amber and gold

Soft like a whisper, the evening sky calling,

echoes adrift as the longings unfold

 

Pastels now gather ‘pon ribbons of satin

‘bove the horizon, a tangerine tone

Singing, the breeze as it wafts through the meadow,

hearing its song as I stand here alone

 

Peering the distance o’er hill shadowed valleys,

wandering thoughts within questions arise

Visions now found at the edge of a moonbeam,

held neath the clouds of these cool autumn skies

 

Now as you sleep under candle flame flicker,

slumber at last brings its silence to share

Slowly, I stroll down this path of desire,

lost in the wishes and hopes I were there

A beautiful reverie Will. I can feel your wistful yearning echoing throughout.

Thanks so very much. I appreciate your nice comment

[Lydia Shutter]

Velvety soft and so very romantic, Will. Deep longing and the ache of desire for someone who is not with you. The love is palpable! Lydi**

[willweb]

thank you so much Lydi, I guess I am just an old romantic at heart too. : )

I really like the description of the scenery when the sky is closing. When our earthly scenic perception is groped into being a part of an ethereal painting, it does lend us some moments of speciality, doesn't it?
Writers, in a sense, are very blessed, as most others can only lay there trying to engrave the whole beauty into their mind, while writers absorb it and write down lyrical rhymes, carving the ethereal moment into an eternal time, through their works.
Another wonderful piece, author willweb~! Your daydreams are indeed as amazing as your writing.

Thank you so very much for you more than kind comments on my poem. I appreciate your time.

Daydreams are like finding out you have an all access pass to every movie imaginable, without needing a subscription and payment that would choke a giraffe.
You can act in them, direct them or even be the moviegoers munching away on their popcorn.
I'm amazed that they haven't caught on more and we'd rather sit in front of a TV watching "pre-thought" movies.
I mean, Where's the fun in that?
If daydreams do catch on, that will be the end of television. I'm sure if it! 😊

I'm good with that...I used to think I was a Monkey but then I realized I was merely a Daydream Believer.

was hooked from the get-go. it costs nothing to dream and makes our rest so much more peaceful. great poetry with depth of meaning ... :)

[willweb]

Thanks so much Pete.

[Dave Brown]

for sure we all dream which is often what keeps us striving
I keep putting my best effort into LOTTO 649 but am not really doing all that well.
The other dream is growing, not losing hair but again, similar results!!!
One other is a wish, that the g++ d++n a, n, and space bar would work properly on this g== d++n computer

The computer sounds like a wish that could come true with a new keyboard, the others...not too sure about. : ) Thanks Dave

I guess we can. Nice use of imagery here to create a mood. We can appreciate the yearnings of the speaker as he contemplates his beloved on a splendid evening. He's not where he wants to be, but he's working on it.

Thanks so much John. Glad you felt this one.

[FGFRANKLIN]

Full of color and romance of the artistic and philosophical nature as well as the natural sort. Great descriptions throughout. I enjoyed the read.

[willweb]

Thanks so very much Fabian.

[Ken Simm.]

I love the use of emotional colour here. Beautiful is the word.

[willweb]

Thanks Ken. I do try to paint with words, though will never compare to your amazing brushwork.

[Seriana]

Will, this is beautiful. I felt as though I were looking off into the sky and an invisible whisper were breathing this into my ear. Yes, my friend. WE can ALWAYS dream.

[willweb]

Thank you Seriana, it is always a thrill for me when you stop by for a visit. I am happy you liked what you found.
