JUST PASSING THROUGH (photo) & ON ITS WAY (free verse dream poem) by Roswila

ON ITS WAY

that deceased baby of mine comes
back to haunt me, and now the loss
of that dear man; but what does any
of it matter, after all, for we extrude
love from our cores on each exhale
and whether it connects to others
for a moment, or hooking up stays
there, makes no difference as love
goes on traipsing in and out of our
deepest selves, often like a poor
but happy hobo whom we only
have the joy to nourish as it
blesses us briefly on its way
to who knows where


[free verse poem based on images from two separate dreams, one dreamed on 5-17 and the other on 5-18-18. Photo "Just Passing Through" (2-7-10 19440v2) by Roswila]

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), 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,
