Poetry Flashback: Dream Come True… (1990)
Upon occasion I have been asked ‘how long have you been a poet’. I don’t know if there has been a time when I did not play with words in the form of poetry. Even before I could write, I made up little rhymes. I published my first poem at the age of 12 and never really stopped. Looking back, it is sometimes amazing I survived my childhood, but a few personal gems did come out of it. (many, many more will never see the light of day 🙂
Dream Come True…
Magical dust scattered throughout the sky
Fair dreams of you and I
Floating down
from way above
the breathless beauty of the world beyond.
All stare with displeasing eyes
At elegance in disguise
Hidden traits
filter through
a shy smile turned toward you.
Glares ignored as glory shines
All is well with you and I.
Tender moments will
dry all tears,
warming our hearts throughout the years.
