They awake and rise,
while I, still trapped in slumber,
follow them; my dreams.
Climbing peaks that hide
in phosphorous mists where ghosts
of past and future,
merge, and - hand in hand -
paint beauteous prophesies,
for lonely lovers,
sleeping.

Thanks Hilary, haven't had a minute lately to write much new stuff but by the end of the month, I should be back on form and have more time. Feeling guilty even posting on here, when I haven't even time too read all my friends work. The thoughts of catching up on all of that is daunting. ;)

Love the 'phosphorous mists', Chris. Beautiful with a melancholy edge - well done ;)

Lovely poem
my favourite part
while I, still trapped in slumber,
follow them; my dreams.
I think I understand :) K
