POEM: Dreamland
This is the result of inspiration from the artwork “Counting Sheep” by Anna Keibler, the featured image on the CPC Simple Sunday Picture challenge.
DREAMLAND
When Anna looked inside her mind,
she saw the ties from childhood bind;
the lovely things she’d left behind.
Old dreams of idealism’s kind.
The rocking chair with squeaking sound,
where grandma’s wisdom rocked the ground,
astounding till it came unwound
with soul proprietary bound.
The fields of grass which rolled so wide
beyond the walls of all outside.
The tree to which the lost confide
until adulthood tanned the hide.
The sky above of brightest blue;
cloudshapes showcased for favored few.
Imagination’s musing glue
fused faces in a friendly hue.
And now, from outside looking in,
grown Anna views her childhood spin
through the mind’s eye window pain
to fire desire to live again.
