God Rays

Staring too long into the looking glass,

trying to predict the future and

make sense of the past.

Time goes by lightning fast. 

Poetry sets the cast.

Call it dreaming...

cloud surfing,

cartwheels on high wires,

living, laughing, loving

singing, no regrets.

Drink every drop of life,

before God rays 

absorb the wake

and your soul sails

into moonlight.

Thanks for stopping by and leaving that lovely lyric, John. "For all the love you've left behind, you can have mine" is my favorite line in the song. What is really strange about this poem and that song, is I stumbled upon the song, wrote this poem, and titled it the same as the song, "Call It Dreaming" which I later discovered is the title of your poem! To avoid confusion, I changed the title to God Rays, which I think also works. When I first realized that swirling loop of like-minded writing, it felt like being in an episode of the Twilight Zone, but it was kind of cool being on the same wavelength as one of my favorite poets.

May the poetry gods continue to bless our WOL family with kindred spirit connections and inspiration! ?

"Life is but a drop in the ocean of souls existence." Love that line Dorothy. I also believe it's true! Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving your uplifting feedback. ?

Where the sun isn't only sinking fast
Every night knows how long it's supposed to last
Where the time of our lives is all we have
And we get a chance to say
Before we ease away
For all the love you've left behind
You can have mine
