A Dream

The beginning    when dreams were        unraveling A moment touched    by the souls        inner brush     Colors Blue, for repression Green, for regression            within Yellow, to enlighten White, just to brighten             the soul Orange, to behoove Red, to remove            the stain Grey, to disguise Violet, for wise             to learn Black is the last While tied to a mast Behold the end of the dream...

I dreamt often as a child with one dream over and over again, brought fear to my heart so much I did not want to sleep. Not now.......dreams may come and may go.....colors often are found within the few moments which seem to last the night.......love the way you have expressed this one Tom with the colors and what you associate them to be with. Enjoyed the rhyme as well as the images created with the flare of your pen. Take care, God Bless, Claire

Hi Tom...your writing has taken on a mystic that I find very charming. It is true that colors can dictate to us. Grey or black is never thought of as a happy color but yellow does. Red makes me think of passion and green and blue are peaceful colors. I read somewhere that people who dream in color are talented and optimistic people. They possess good imaginations. I have asked some if they dream in color and was surprised to find many do not because I always do. Not that I am any of the above things just because my color dreams say I am....but it would be nice if I were! Great poem! Marilyn
