Red-headed beauty somewhat six degrees
on through life doing what she please
took a chance to sail the seven seas
some time ago in her dreams
Danced with peasants, popes and kings
erasing hearts every time she sings
she had time for all sorts of things
of the moments in her dreams
Dancing now in her purgatory
someday maybe we could hear her story
of her fall from grace and her glory
as she lost all of her dreams
In my sleep but only late at night
I saw the her dance in blue moonlight
only to drift softly out of sight
never again in my dreams

Dreams can be so very fleeting. Thank goodness for words, which allow us to take the feels of dreams and shape them into something that lingers...
ReplyDeleteI've had an overabundance of story-dreams lately but only some that I can share (because so few are interesting)
DeleteThank you, Magaly.
I would dearly love to hear her story, watch her dance, sail the seas ~~~~
ReplyDeleteI will have to ask her when I see her next time, Helen. Thank you
DeletePerhaps she will come back ... if only to finish her story. We will hope.
ReplyDeletePerhaps, Beverly. She may stop by again some day. Thanks
DeleteWill she dance back into your dreams, good question i suppose. We wait for future reports
ReplyDeleteh
Happy Sunday

much love
One never knows, Gillena. Some characters never return but it may be a tale not to be shared. Thank you for your kind thoughts.
DeleteFascinating! A fictional or real character, I wonder. Like everyone else, I'd love to know more of her story either way.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Rosemary. She may come by again in verse or storyline. I will ask her to tell me more.
DeleteIntriguing! Not about a woodpecker!
ReplyDeleteNo, not a woodpecker, Colleen, although I had one furiously attack a trail camera a while back. Thank you for your kind words.
DeleteWhat a beautiul yet sad tale. A great read.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Robin. I appreciate your kind words. The third stanza came first, if that makes sense.
DeleteShe Will Be back. Trust me on this.
ReplyDeleteOne never knows, Ron. Thanks for the encouragement
DeleteIntriguing write. The character so reminds me of Mata Hari. :)
ReplyDeleteInteresting, Cheong Lee san. I hadn't thought of that, thank you
DeleteI've had vivid dreams like that. But I'd definitely read more about this character should you choose to write more about her.
ReplyDeleteI shall see if she'll stop by here again. Thank you, Rommy. I'm glad to see that some of my people are interesting
