Map Of Dream

Surprisingly, this ties two recent themes together ~ the "Map" series and the "Dream" sequence ~ though I have no doubt that both will continue further.  I feel that there is more to be said in both of these.





Map Of Dream  -  06 May 13


Worlds where we can play
Touch the sky
Breathe the ocean

Where we can chart
The worlds of our creation
So we can return … whenever

Taste the flavour of our Love
I listen to the words of your song
Join in and create harmony

We chant new worlds
I watch you smile as they are born
New lands to play

The map of our dreams
Will never be complete
Ever growing within us

Thank you to Muse for helping to plait these together ~ though plaiting requires at least three streams ... so...

What next?

Map Of The Amethyst World

I had intended to post this yesterday but felt that the poem I did post was, in a lot of ways and for some good reasons, more important.  So I now present the Amethyst Map,





Map Of The Amethyst World  -  01 May 13


Footprints on the waters
Cleaving the waves
Diving
Spiral dance
Water born
Carried to the depths

On crystal paths
We walked
Invited on
By a Dolphin’s song
Across the map

Crystal halls
Surround and shine
Through our dreams
Where mysteries are told

Records in the Amethyst
Inscribed ~ shown
As we read

Dolphins give us Amethysts
Then request that we

Move on





I can feel that there are more Maps to come.  I know that Muse would like me to add more.

Map Of Myth

This "Map" poem grew in the afternoon and seemed to be a response to thoughts I had been having about some meditation experiences from a few years ago.





Map Of Myth  -  30 Apr 13


Forms around us
Keeping pace
Encouraging
Guarding
Protecting our dream
As we move through the day

Unicorns walk beside
In the forest glade
Their smiling shining thoughts
Light the day
More than the sun
Warm

Overhead
Wrapped in cerulean
Dragons of many colours
Circle
Play
A spiral dance

The Map holds many truths
Here be Dragons ~ yes often said
Here be Unicorns ~ never be mentioned
Yet here they walk
With many other beings
… And we





Maybe there will be more of these to come ~ I can think of one that could be used.
Thank you Muse for the suggestions.

Morrow's Map

This poem grew in the afternoon when Muse suggested a slightly new direction and has implied that there is even more to come.





Morrow's Map  -  29 Apr 13


New day blossoms
Threads of sunlight
Wrap my thoughts and take them
Into worlds anew
The legend undrawn …
Dragons ahead?
Or something more wonderful?

Breathe in the essence
Of the blossom
Walk into the day
Look around
Watch for the footprints
That can lead to
New wonders

Watch the way
The map
Unrolls ...

I quite like the way this "Map" series is progressing and I getting a glimpse of new vistas.

Map Of Time

Another poem in the "Map" sequence.  It doesn't seem to have any specific inspiration other than taking the cue from previous poems in the series and a vague hint of Salvador Dali with the rolled clock.





Map Of Time  -  26 Apr 13


Unrolled
Ticking clock
A bell strikes an hour but
I lose count

Forgetting
Where we are
A face shines out an our but
Whose our?

Dawn
Conducts the choir
Chorus sings a medley
In random keys

Waking
Remembered that
Of all the times we see and share
Are any real?

Sun
Fingers of light walking
Across the shape of the day ~ into
Time’s map

Another touch of surrealism ~ one day I shall have to work on creating something totally surreal with the assistance of Muse.

Dream Map

This is a continuation of the "Map" series of poems.  Muse suggested that I wrote this yesterday [23 Apr 13] after the poem for the day was posted and so it had to wait before it appeared here.





Dream Map  -  23 Apr 13


Afternoon draws to an end
Evening watches
As we begin
To enter
Our dream

The map of day is ending
We reach the edge
And now …
The map of dream
Is unrolled

The path leads on
Through phantom forests
Surrounding ancient castles
Shrouded in myths
And Elder ways

We ~ wrapped in dream
Caressed by our wishes
Holding each other close
The nightlights of the stars
Guide us

I don't really know if there are more poems in this series but I do know Muse and she often arranges for things to happen.

Light Map

The third in the "Map" sequence is now here and ready for viewing.





Light Map  -  20 Apr 13


Sun through leaves
Filigree
Picks out your lips
Inviting me
To explore you

The map spread
Before me
Made with light
Shines your Love
Onto me

Dreams and sighs
Intermingle
Our thoughts share
A common space
In times of us

Hand-in-hand
We walk on
Into our world
We draw our own map
As we go

I get the feeling that another "Map" poem is cooking ...

Dark Map

After a comment on yesterday's post suggesting that there were more "Map" poems to come, Muse agreed and showed a few suggestions of her own ... here is the result.





Dark Map  - 19 Apr 13


Cartographers said
“Here be Dragons”
When facts ran out
And the space
Had to be filled

The Dragons watched
As we danced
Through shimmering halls
Across walls
Of starlight

Reflected in the mirror lake
The dark map
Shows the path …
We are invited
By Dragon wings

I feel that there is at least one more poem to come in this series.

The Map

I had been watching a couple of vampire + werewolf DVDs¹ when I was nudged by Muse as the darkness fully entered my awareness, this is the resulting poem.

The Map  -  19 Apr 13

Darkness holds a memory

A hint of what is

Of what might have been

And the places

That hold the treasures

Of time and mind

Crystal thoughts

Shining in a translucent

Realm … 

Of worlds and dreams

Held in mind to explore

And savour

One step into the dark

Will show the path

On my hand

In glowing ink

The map is drawn …

I follow
