New Dreams Begin Poem by Ernestine Northover

New Dreams Begin

Rating: 5.0


To sit with mind in heightened state,
With thoughts evolving constantly.
Talking within, in great debate,
It really is a malady.

How can one sort these whirling words,
That keep rotating endlessly.
Must stop these flying weaverbirds,
So frenzied, trying to get free.

Send me releasing, calming joy,
Wildness depart. New dreams begin.
Then, just go let this charm employ,
Backed by strings of a mandolin.

Such a creative way of taming a mind with spinning thoughts. As usual, you know how to use imagery so well, and end on a positive note. 10 Karin Anderson
