How much poetry live within me
Or am I merely a vessel
That has to be loaded and unloaded
To not waste away under the calm wind
And sink to a weighted depth of silent
And unfulfilled dreams
Yet what is the use
Carrying a soul from an unwritten land
To an unread land
Both dotted with footprints of past voyageurs
But no path or end in sight
Perhaps I am destined to be an unnamed pilgrim
That treads upon and whose marks will be tread upon
The wasteland of hapless ambitions
Transforming it into a garden of everlasting
Love, freedom, and hope
There,
You may find me one day
Though you will not know it
Nor will I
Within a petal of the rose
A dust in the dew
The wings of a honeybee
And if you look closely,
Listen closely
Within the laughing wind
As the gale brings all of us
Across the sea
Carrying vessels after vessels
From dream to dream
Sentient Dreams: My Poetry Anthology
This is the manuscript to my amazon vanity press poetry anthology: "Sentient Dreams" that I have now decided to just share it here digitally. All of the poems have been published here on HP at certain points of time anyway.
Almost all of the poems are from October 2017-July 2019.
Please feel free to share! :)
I don't think I will be adding to this specific anthology in the future. (Except three more poems that will be updated later.)
