Never-Ending Dreams Collide

A Poem for Martin Rushton’s Never-Ending Poem Challenge, Share the Love

Painting, Railway, by artist Edourd Manet, 1873, on WikiArt.org. Public Domain

My never-ending dreams collide,
like two lost doves up in the sky,
that sweep into clouds
to hide in shade.

My dreams, at times, might just reel,
like some enormous Wonder Wheel,
for the thrill of the ride
on a hot summer’s day.

My dreams are like candy,
fallen through grate,
drowning in quicksand,
beyond heaven’s gate.

My dreams of a duchess,
meeting the Queen,
might just have to wait.

I would dream like a cat,
One with nine lives.
I would dream I was ink,
These words I’d inscribe.

But dreams are something we can’t live without.
They fill life with meaning and bring rain to drought.
And if life is a song with a lasting refrain,
This prompted poem is never ending, like a link in a chain.
