Magic Loom

 

Dreams I weave

in my mind's loom

be they in pale

yellow morning light

or the shimmering

haze of noon

or in the twilight

of the falling night

with evening star

and rising moon

 

My magic loom

catches all dreams

floating by

whether groan and moan

or laugh and cry

but snared

and woven into words

none can die

very Very nice. If poets arn't dreamers they are nothing at all
Cheryl W. Aug 31, 2006, 6:40am EDT
Wonderful.....love the visual of a magic loom weaving the colors of one's life.
Thank you, John. How very true!
And thank you, Cheryl for your generous comment.
Thank you very much, Amy! We are our dreams - the trick is not to let them become nightmares.

Cool! Never heard the mind referred to as a loom...but, goodness you're right!

it's gorgeous, magi. you are indeed a master weaver.
are you familiar with jude cowell's work here on gather? if so, you know why this poem made my think of her paintings. if not, take a look - i think you'll like her work.
Faith H. Aug 31, 2006, 12:49pm EDT

I too love the loom weaving life
Thank you, John.
Lynn, and we're always busy weaving on it.
Thank you, too, Mona. No, I'm not familiar with Jude but I'll try to find her.
Faith, thank you very much for the compliment. You and everyone else are key threads in the dreams that I weave.
Shelly, thank you - we are all magical.
And thank you as well, Carol. All of us are the weavers of dreams.
The loom seems to catch them all, whether we want it to or not. Great writing.
Let us weave dreams for each other, Renda. Thank you very much.

"My magic loom

catches all dreams

floating by"

ummmmmm
Bob, you can also weave!
elizabeth e. Oct 7, 2008, 6:29am EDT
But my loom cannot compare to that of yours....your manner of interlacing the warp threads and the weft threads produce an exquisite satin weave as shown here in this poem.
Oh, what a lovely compliment, Bob! But spend a little more time at your loom and you will produce magic carpets of poetry, my friend.

I bow to you.

I'm afraid my loom is fairly old and in disrepair
And is definitely in need of a good repairman.
Bob, it is you who must repair the loom ... but I will lend you a hand. Here, have a toasted Vegemite sandwich. LOL

I like this! We can weave our own dreams, it just took your poem to point this out. I'm going to hold on to this thought, and also the idea of catching passing dreams if I like them. This is a wonderful poem.
We can indeed weave our own dreams and snare passing ones, Lynn. And thank you very much.
