Night, And Dawn Poem by Will Barber
Night, And Dawn
Ghosts roam the night, to seek the sleepers out
And feast upon their dreams. Ghosts search the night
For old memories, the sound and sight
Of passions they have lost in silent ground.
Dreams roam the night air, seeking ones who wake,
Their beating hearts roused by contact with divine
Spirits who call them to arise, and shine,
And dream nobler dreams, nobly to speak
Of all the Earth's travails, and of the good that there
Lies 'round about the feet of those who walk
About her earthen walls, of the sweet silks
That 'round the ankles of her maidens swirl.
Ghosts and dreams recede westward, as the sun
Calls all the mortals to begin again.

I love this poem Will, but I'm sure I commented on it before. Melvina
i was afraid this would be too hopeful/delusioned. but, it wasnt! kept on a visioned track (and gave me goosebumps) . 'silver waters that i might have slept in.' hope you are well. been away for too long. care, sjg
A beautifully paced poem whose elegant language gracefully describes the thought process itself. Wonderfully done! Robert
