DarkPoetry -|- Sanctuary -|- Away I Wander

Away I Wander

I gaze upon a moonless sky
Dreaming little dreams,
Nothing grand
Indeed nothing pretentious,
But in the eyes of my soul
A world of such wondrous splendor
I expose
Away I wander

It seems darkness cannot exist here,
Only the smiles that signal my delight
These sweeping meadows of vivid beauty
Bouquets of a million living things
With the warmth of a glowing sun
Assaulting my senses like a battering ram

I must refuse to abscond
Merely resist the need to ever awaken
Nothing more is needed on the other “side”,
All that I care to remember
Resides in this consciousness, in this image
A simple illusion of flawlessness
Or conspiracy of the mind
Yet it feels so real
And I feel so whole

to me you are the antithesis of a kind of Poe; where as he had almost a pre-existential dread about him; your wanderings are spiritual ponderings, charming and elucidating

YOu found Rainbow Land! If you see my daughter there wave for me. I think it is so great to capture a happy place so well.

I wow, You caught me, lured me in and pulled me up. This poem was amazing. A wish of this never ending dream. Absolute Brilliance. Nicely Written. I loved the 2nd Stanza. You opened up a world inside my imagination I forgot about. ][ ][
