DRAGONS RISING (photomorph) & LOOK UP! (dream) by Roswila


LOOK UP!

the young strangers (all of them dressed completely
in black) want to know if they’re going in the right
direction to get off this elevated train platform: “It’s
looking like such a long haul…” they add, though
they seem not at all winded by their fast pace; I
sigh “Yes…” checking my answer by looking
ahead in the direction I’m going (opposite from
their goal, to another place altogether); soon enough
they’ve all loped past and behind me, and I’m still
trudging away even further from the exit stairs
they must be nearing by now; I walk (nay, hobble)
watching with delight the many colorful, winged
dragons and other scintillating mythological creatures
circling and diving and rising again in the distant clear
blue sky, even as I elbow my thirty-something brother
(who’s joined me on this long and challenging trek)
to “Look up! Look up! Or you’ll miss it all!”


[Dream of 9-25-19. This was my actual (now deceased) brother as I remember him in his 30’s. It was my brother, in our long-ago youth, who first triggered my interest in not only science fiction and fantasy but mythology. Photomorph “Dragons Rising” (Archival Old Pix-9 7665v2a[2]) 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,
