In a dream you came to me
whispering that word
the resonance that found us
when it was just you and I
The word that bound us
across oceans and sky
in that place where you waited
time ticking, endlessly
Until I opened my window
saw your footprints in the sand
the smile you’d left me to find
with that word that belongs to you
The dream still lingers in my wake
in the last message you crafted
contrasting the shadow and light
cupid’s arrow, threw my heart
I’m hoping to see beyond my tears
when love brings you back to me.
It’s all in that word that means: the
same thing is happening to you and me.

“It’s all in that word that means: the same thing is happening to you and me.” I love this line. A shared experience, a moment in time. Although the same thing might be experienced very differently. Beautiful, Chev. Thanks. 🙂

Thank you Tracy! I’m sure you know where I stole that line from but I needed to make it my own. Glad you like it cause yeah, it’s like being taken by surprise – that feeling -or borrowing on some lyrics: “There’s something about your love that makes me weak and knocks me off my feet 😀

Hmm. This lovely poem put me in a very thoughtful mood. I remember a dream I had a couple weeks back. It has persistently stuck with me. Very reminiscent of your verse. I was certainly moved.

Thank you Susan. I’m really pleased to hear that it struck a chord with you. I’m a great believer in dreams both the sleep induced and the day dreams. I’ve had some epic dreams which have influenced significant milestones in my life. I like to think of dreams as part of synchronicity – signs and messages that you should be paying attention to. See where your thoughts take you on your dream.😀

It seems like the dreams have opened up a doorway to the universe and things are slowly turning. Everything puts me in the mind of serendipity.

How I love that word “Serendipity” Did you ever see the movie? So, I follow the law of attraction and I celebrate the good things such belief has brought me.

Yes, I have actually seen it! Sometimes I feel like John Cusack stuck in the Peter Gabriel song, “Solsbury Hill.” “I’m never where I want to be.” LOL

I wonder don’t we all have a bit of that in us. That’s what I find gratifying about poetry – teasing out what sits at the heart of who we are and then finding our way home as the song says. Clearly easier said than done but I like to go out on a limb sometimes and “Just do it” I guess I’ve been lucky because it is often about taking risks. I guess that was what Peter Gabriel did when he left Genesis.

There you go – good luck with your decision. I’m also in transition, starting a new journey in my career next week hopefully much more on my own terms towards finding my way “home”.😀
