Take my shoelace and unravel a dream,
He said.
Such pure innocence was inconceivable
To me in those moments of mine
And then, not one but two dreams
Descended their journey into my mouth,
‘let’s run away’ , I said, ‘for the voices
are telling me it’s time’.
The second dream laughed at me with
Sympathetic eyes and told me he was the reality.
‘So I must stay and rest. For I am what I am
and here is my home’
I tied back up his laces and we
walked in content shoes.

Love the dream and the laces like a realistic fantasy
ReplyDeleteTo be content is fantastic. Most of us are rarely that.
ReplyDeleteYou do have a great writing style.
Your thoughts, your words and comparisons are bind in such a zealous manner, I am glad you tied back the laces and walked together, dreams and reality should always walk together,they exist and are nourished by one another, it is only when our dreams drift to a world of their own that we face a problem with our reality!! Absolutely loved this!!!
ReplyDeletethey obviously were chucks, because those are my contented shoes...smiles. at least they seemed good dreams...

ReplyDeletetwo awards on the bottom of the post,
Happy Sunday!
It's difficult not to want to live in a dream sometimes, but having those dreams makes reality richer and spicier. Contentment is such a wonderful thing and so rarely found. Lovely poem...
ReplyDeleteLike the laces unwoven and woven again this poem drifts beautifully towards its happy climax of contentment.
ReplyDeleteGlad that you accepted the awards...
