Before I write the poem I had better explain my dream. I was in a bookshop and on the counter was a poetry book. When I opened it I was attracted by the first few lines which I then memorised.
Suddenly I woke up, but still remembered the first six lines. I immediately wrote down these lines and that morning added the extra trying to keep within the same theme. So here goes readers, enjoy a mix of two worlds, where a dream merges into a reality.
I thought I caught a butterfly,
I had to let it go.
I thought I caught a daffodil,
I had to let it grow.
I thought I caught a sunset,
I had to let it rise,
But when I caught a glimpse of you,
My thoughts were in disguise.
Now you stand in front of me
With sunshine in your eyes.
A daffodil at sunset,
A butterfly, undisguised,
Can I let you go?
I have yet to have another such dream, but you never can tell.
