A View into My Life

A Poem For Florence

Here is a poem I wrote last year, May 2011. It was a result of a very lucid dream. Later, in the Fall of last year, I sent it to FATM Fan Club in London. In some way, I was truly moved in a profound way from her song, HOWL. They really liked it. It’s nice to be able to share something that is special to me. I hope sharing it with those of you, out there in Tumblr-Land, will like it too.

A Dream But Not A Dream

By Jeffrey Gershom

 

 

A breeze caresses the boughs

With gentle force.

Slowly they move with

Rhythm from Nature’s overture.

 

Watching up above,

Luna fills the night

In radiant light.

Her soft glow blankets

The ground and trees

As they nestle together,

Embraced…entwined.

 

The wind rustles the tall

Prairie grass. Seductively,

This invisible touch

Moves across the lay of the land,

Finally reaching the hem of a

Small wooded patch.

 

Ever so carefully, the fragrant air

Moves up the trunks

Of the trees…the delicate legs

Which Gaia stands with

Leafy elegance.

 

Far within the muted darkness,

A lone wolf howls with

Powerful ecstasy, stirring the

Calm with primal satisfaction.

All the while, Luna glides gracefully overhead

Enjoying the reoccurring play of

Light, air and earth.

 

Over and over again,

These visions sow themselves

In my mind as if wanting

To take root and grow in

My secluded hope of being

Needed.

 

Can such a crop ever be planted?

Can such a crop ever be reaped?

Can such a hope ever be dreamt?

Can such a hope ever be realized?
