Morning Inspiration And A Vague Dream Poem by Savita Tyagi

Morning Inspiration And A Vague Dream

Rating: 5.0


Stepping upon silken layers of dream, with caution
I caressed an injured creature, soft and dark as night
In stony silence of room, a little scared and
Unsure of myself I was, with its presence.

The abstract dream left me
With a strange impression.
But a vague reality was revealed
By sudden morning inspiration.

Love and hate, hope and despair
Anger and calmness, envy and mercy
Like children of light and darkness, forever
Reside side by side in each human heart.

Angry, forgotten thoughts
Being eliminated in endless effort
Still lie wounded and potent
In silhouetted corridors of heart.

Come! touch me, hold me, nurse me!
Like wounded animals so emphatic is
Their plea to bring out the child in you.

With pure innocence it invites you to
Play and caress each one with a
Fearless trust, unaware of any harm
That could fall upon if not vigilant.

But a wrathful, wounded beast is
Still ferocious and still vengeful
Ready to strike with full passion
At any of your unguarded moments.

Wounded feelings are like wounded beasts! They may pounce upon us at any unguarded moment! So try to eliminate all angry thoughts as best as one can. Anger and calmness stay side by side! Never allow anger to have the upper hand! Profound thoughts! Loved the way the poem has unfolded itself from a dream!

(cont.) 2 - yes, at least Freud would agree with you that dreams may reveal thoughts one didn't know s/he had. i THINK you are saying that. And that feelings which are very different, sometimes opposites are lurking in all of us. hopefully not as striking as in Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde story! i do have some 'grammar' suggestions i won't bother typing, except sacred/scared and i would add s at end of poem. this is good. some nice wording. to MyPoemList. bri (:

1 - 3rd line: scared? ('sacred') ha ha? abstract dreams? abstract adjective 1. existing in thought or as an idea but not having a physical or concrete existence. i wouldn't call all dreams abstract, but you have NOT done that. there certainly are odd/unexplained/unexplainable parts of some dreams, but not all parts are abstract, even though one cannot hold a dream like holding a fork.

Silken layers of dream have beautiful effect on mind. Morning inspiration we get through duty and beauty of light. An excellent and worthy poem is beautifully penned...10

Dreams have their own language/symbolism and often seem vague. But they often come to convey something. What is it? That is the challenge. I fully agree with the sentiments expressed in this beautiful piece. There was time long back I used to follow my dreams to understand what they want to convey. Well-said.
