The Lotus' Song

© 07-17-24, Olan L. Smith


Suffice our dreams frame character as we die.

What hurried past is incomplete, and why?

The wind blows in the rushes and blocks the lotus' song,

Meanwhile, the cat's in the nip, and angels smoke a bong.


A dreamer sees this when night turns to dawn

While Rover plays with a mole in his master's lawn.

A dream is just a gist as time is at its stand;

It knows the closing chapter is at hand.

A brilliant and poignant poem. I expect nothing less than this from a poet like you. The last line speaks of everything, life is a dream. The end meet the beginning. The end is where everything starts again and we're rushed through memories.
