Dream Awake
If I could go back
Would I?
To bathe in sun…
And sigh.If I could go back
Maybe…
I’d stand right still…
And see.If I could go back
Yes, now
I’d sip a froth
Ah……wow.If I could go back
I could,
In disconnect,
Be good.If I could go back
I’d sail,
And carry on
Not wail.If I could go back
I’d wish
To be carefree
As fish.If I could go back
I’d dream
To let go all
And beam.If I could go back
I’d play,
In sea and sand
All day.If I could go back
I’d break,
Inhale it deep
And flake.If I could go back
I’d free
All worry stress
And……be.If I could go back
Would I?
It can’t be done
I sigh.Paula Antonello Moore, Poetry. Copyright: April 30, 2015

How perfectly wistful! 🙂
Yes but it’s a dream experienced awake. Hence the melancholy.
