This is for One Stop Poetry’s Sunday photograph prompt
I haven’t finished yet,
I still have dreams
Ambitions,
Things I vow to do.
There are places
I must visit, holidays to take.
Friends I haven’t met yet,
Men I yearn to hold.
I still want kisses in the moonlight,
The comfort of a hug.
I still thrill to birdsong, shiver
In the sun as it slides gentle
fingers on my skin.
I dream among the stars,
Bellow in the shower
With the sheer joy of living.
I have many seas to swim in,
Railway lines to ride,
Ferries not yet taken, I may yet
Learn to glide, silent, sleek
And graceful through the clouds.
I’m not as you must see me
Sad, bewildered, old.
Ninety’s the new sixty
And I still have dreams to dream.
i much like the will for life you have given her.. the things she still wants to do, see, feel. thanks for writing the dreams for her sally..
there was something about the solidity of her, the angle of her head…
thanks for commenting Claudia.
“Ninety’s the new sixty” Nice! Love the positive spin you took with the photo and how you enumerate joys and simple pleasures in life. Thanks again for joining us.
Thank you – and thank you for welcoming me in to the One Stop community. I just love the comradeship and encouragement in what can be a solitary occupation.
I love the positiveness of this poem ! And I really love the image of her riding the railway lines – maybe it’s just me but I see her riding those lines, in that chair. Lovely poem Sally !
wouldn’t that just be a wonderful sight…thanks for the encouragement
Go for it gal unto the last breath
the only way to go…thanks for reading
Powerful energies fill within life’s dreams… felt, held gently like the dove, have wings to soar!
all we have to do is trust the wings…thanks for the comment
smiles. that is exactly how i want to be a dreamer to the end…go for it!
what would we be without our dreams? thank you Brian
Great pace, energy, an attitude for your MC. Snappy and Sassy. 90 is the new 60; kool!
I am relying on 60 being the new 40, so moving it forward seems like good sense! Thank you for commenting Henry.
Good, relatable.
thanks Steve
