Angel Dreams

Adrift in dreams, imagination whirls
and lilac angels' wings fly close at hand.
The flower scented air begins to swirl
and lulls us further. We can understand

concepts which, in daytime, make no sense.
For nigh time looses bonds of black or white,
sends technicolour shades in recompense
and melds the boundaries of wrong and right.

When waters of emotion lap the shores
of self expression, artists utilise the wave
of creativity, the swell of power. It draws
new sensibilities  from places they've

visited in Dream Time. Therefore
let us agree to sally forth. Explore!


More violets may be seen at Magpie Tales, thanks to Willow's pretty photo, and I've also linked this to The Poetry Pantry.

    Great work on the image again, and love your take on the Magpie prompt this week. I get most of my best answers while asleep, it's my consious brain that gives me the problems!!

    Dreams are strange indeed and hard to capture. It all makes sense until we wake . . .

    Dreams are made of things like this,
    They come and go like a flirty kiss.

    Nighttime wisdom is the best, I often find. So many answers come to me then!
