Our Dream On Wheels Poem by Hazel Durham
Our Dream On Wheels
Our family caravan that held all our dreams,
To discover our birth land,
We were like a travelling soul band,
As we observed mountain views,
That swept down to the sparkling Atlantic ocean,
We were reborn and had felt brand new,
Together we had a childlike innocence,
With our love so true,
We travelled in our car towing our dream on wheels,
Across this heart-warming land,
We passed by mystical fields
The wind was a friend of nature,
The sky held the promise of that we will endure,
As we passed fields a symbol so pure,
They became a tonic,
Like our own natural cure,
Freedom is ours we were a family on the run,
From city life away from city strife,
A fairytale as we passed warmly lit farmhouses
And rolling green fields,
With their stunning appeal,
Of moments captured now in words,
About our dream on wheels,
That became the living truth with every magnificent view,
A magnitude of beauty released,
I remember the sound of thundering waves as nature's music,
We had the pick
Of scenery that rolled out before us,
Like a wild beast never captured, it just ran free,
Through our elated thoughts,
Now life is like a winter tree,
Without it's cloak of leaves,
My best friends have departed
To their resting place in the sky
As they watch over me from heaven's home,
I never feel alone,
They are sitting on nature's humble throne,
Still their love travels down Irish roads,
Climbing to great heights,
With the truest love,
That is their warm sun shining so bright.
We had the pick Of scenery that rolled out before us, Like a wild beast never captured, it just ran free, Through our elated thoughts, ....... Lovely lines in a lovely poem! With you I too was travelling on wheels past mystical fields, farm houses and unwinding stretch of scenery!
A lovely poem, Hazel. Brings back fond memories of my travels through Ireland. Your well chosen words depict an image of a slower paced more relaxing way of life.
If we all remembered happy times such as these we would 'never feel alone'. A beautiful reminder to hold onto memories. It is all too easy to let memories fade. Time to get some old photos out and be inspired to make some new ones...
Very nice poem. Aptly and nicely composed. I like this poem. Best word choice. Many thanks. ....10
Revisiting such a lovely poem we feel glad. They are sitting on nature's humble throne and love is travelling with life and vision...10
How wonderful the way you have shared these positive family memories with us all.
A poem vivid in cluster of episodes narrated and reverberating a poetic effort all throughout to make it one with distinct charm. A fine poem, Hazel and I give 10 for it. I am sorry for being away from the PH for almost 2 months. Shall be reading further...
A man may rejoice about his memories or feel deflated about it. So it is not better that we cling on to the the former though the latter may try to punch holes into it? A lovely poem that traversed though beautiful landscape of Ireland and through the inner tracks of life.
