The Passage of Dreams

You found the passage

Of dreams and turned your

Back on Eden…

A cloud without a shred

Of silver lining

As the tide

Turned, he seized

The magic moment…

Just in time to witness

The birth of Destiny

Behold

The image of a restless

Soul; chasing…

The rainbow lorikeet

With tender foot

Ah, the magic possum…

Painting my dreams pink

With a handful of poems

Fear not, fondest one,

There’s a lyrical new voice

In the ‘hood

Revealing the secrets

Of the lost love

The seed

Of doubt disappears

In the golden

Dawn…a land

Full of surprises

Amidst the silence

Of the endless sea

The eagle

Found its wings

In the nick of time

And in the garden

Of the earthly delight…

Fortune’s lair

Tricked by the imaginary again. When will man ever learn?

Lawrence, you paint the poet's search for love and beauty so well. The poem promises abundant rewards for anyone who ventures out with faith and a sensitive heart.

"The eagle found its wings in the nick of time" My favorite line but each line builds to that. I love it.

Oh shucks, I'm late, but at least I didn't totally miss this awesome voice. Clicked on you from Sandra's place and found this wonderful poem. I love it. I'm with Elsie, great title for such a profound poem. Now I must go see Ms Elsie.

Your words are beautiful. I think this is the kind of poem that one could read and find a different meaning each time.

This is multilayered and cryptic as usual with your brilliant verse.
It brings forth lies of future's promise yet hope at the journey's end.
Fantastic!
Thanks for joining Certified Souls! I'm featuring this along with two others you brilliant poet you...
