BIEN DORMIR (An Original Poem)
Close your eyes,
dream
a daunting dream
that seems
a haunting ghost
in waking hours

see your
soul in slumber's mirror,
it is stirring
with such strength
that spirit speaks
and wishes wander
without constraints
of time and space

![](http://i.giphy.com/145zKmWbS9Pj7a.gif)

leave your longings
and leap into the night
fly so fast, so free
that your wake curls
the fragile edges
of moonlit mist

welcome
to this land of
happenstance and whimsy
where no wants exist

here gravity
tugs only
at our hearts, entranced
and we dare
to dream nothing...but love.

I see a lot of alliteration here - wonderful! I did some metered verse for a flash-writing challenge of @markrmorrisjr today. Would love to see your work in that challenge, too!

Through steem you've touched many a heart
 Those who read your poetry, have loved them from the start.
You are becoming a great inspiration, can you see?
You've given some hope, to those getting back in to poetry.

@ericvancewalton · 
Very touching, @pixiehunter!  I'm so happy to hear that my writing has been inspirational to you.  Poetry is magic, I feel it should be part of every author's repertoire. It conditions and refines our "creativity muscle", allows us to read into the deeper meanings of things. Writing poetry makes our fiction much more  layers and complex. Thank you!
