dreaming is one way
by Charlie Morgan
a near-finished bridge fills his dreams;
says he doesn't remember his other dreams.
claims to not dream at all, ever.
he needs to dream the bridge once more;
this time finish it so suspended families
can move on with their lives.
it'll be hours before sleep; so, they wait.
suspended in car-seats and set in life;
only his dreaming will loose them.
the power of one man's dream; endless.
until he wakens to see that bridges
are built in the wide-awake day.

| Posted by Kathleen Wilson on 01/30/08 at 05:16 PM An evocative and strong bridge this poem builds. Unusual and suggestive. The "near finished bridge" a dream image with import in line one line 2 and 3--self efacing commentary on it. Stanza teo-- such a dream--that feels real--as some so strongly do--the reasoning! Stanza 3 like a suspension bridge itself--the waiting!! Stanza 4--the power felt in dream... and then the waking realization! Yes, in my favorites. |
