Diving With My Dream – Surreal Memories Awakened
Fingertips…
Brushing the amber waters
Amazed at the elasticity
And yet intrigued…
The taste is sweet
Like ripe cherries plucked from the tree
Luxurious feel on the tongue
Yet too loud for prolonged enjoyment
So, in deference to the silence
We must abstain
From consumption
Dive in…
Weightlessness awaits
An impossibility of vision
The dream on the bottom
Unreachable
Except by a single eye
An exotic ocular experience
Poses rumors
Thought shared to the inner mind
From the outer mind
Kept in secret
Memories…
Future moments enshrined
Frozen like sculpted ice
What does the future hold…
Or the hand
And the color green of course
Collisions of thought
Absorption
Sorption, maybe just a dream
Or perhaps only an exchange
Of momentum
When we dream…
Surreal
Yet painted with the brush of life
That which was
Reborn into that which might be
Or should be
Could be
Perhaps totally forgotten
Lost in translation
The klaxon shattering
An awakening

The experience of anything possible and things unimagined have intrigued human beings for centuries. We spend countless hours trying to interpret and understand them, but what if a dream is only a dream….what would it mean?

“Surreal” describes this well, Ralph. Is this really a depiction of your dreams? Interesting. Nice work.
I love to study and interpret dreams and this one intriques me to no end, Ralph. Very well written and captures my interest. Well done.
I could see the “surreal” dream like images as if a movie while I read your poem. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience Ralph. Thank you for sharing. Jamie
Nice write took me right into the “surreal” world of your dreams.
It expresses very deep feelings, something lying at the bottom of the heart.
