DREAM GOLD (photomorph) & BABY GOLD (free verse dream poem) by Roswila

BABY GOLD

we've never even slept together, yet
we've had a biological son, one I'd
forgotten about somehow over
the years and only remember now
when he introduces himself to me,
an apparently very forgiving
young man with shiny dark brown
hair that bears a hint of the baby gold
I suddenly recall

it seems time may be more
than the great healer, it may,
if we are very lucky,
bring back in refined form
what we have lost along the way

PLEASE NOTE: in most browsers you can click on the above image for a larger version. Also, the photo accompanying a post is not necessarily meant to illustrate it, but to reflect some small, even slant aspect of the verse, similar to Japanese haiga (illustrated haiku).

There are many other sorts of posts on this blog. I indicate which are about or influenced by dreams. Some non dream focused posts are book reviews, "regular" poems (some by other writers, as the above is), scifaiku, writing exercises, Tarot haiku, photos, haiga, and so on. However, most of those are in much older posts. There's a listing by month going back to early 2006, at the end of the sidebar.

until next time, keep dreaming,
