Sentinels

Category: My Poetry

They stand at the doorway to sleep

sentinels to my dreams

they always appear in threes

 

I think they might disappear

one at a time– deep in the darkness

at the doorway to sleep

 

Sleep starts and stops

the night grows heavy

I think they might appear

 

My dreams are unlocked

flowing in a river of thought

one at a time—deep in the darkness

 

Pamela Olson, 5/5/08

 

This poem was inspired by the prompt

Monday Mural at Poefusion.

    a river of dreams flowing past stone sentinels through a doorway

    o where do they go?

    Ah, the depths of the dreaming mind. Well done.

    Dreams are one of the most fascinating things one can do. They’re poetic in their own rite. Your poem read dreamily. Have a nice night.
