David

such a great dream
now stuck
in this day lit reverie
lingering blessing
from the night

my brother
      bigger now
sweet quiet companion
our feet just
skimming early sun beams
from the lake

our double gaze
swinging out
over misty lake silence

  1. Yeah. These are the moments we carry with us as we go. Or that carries us. I'm not sure which it is.

    Your poem makes me peaceful.

  3. I don't know how far your brother's gone - away, or away away -- but I've had reveries like this of walking with my younger brother who died in 2008. Savoring the eternity of a moment now forever lost. With that "double gaze." - Brendan

  4. double gaze
    creates a bed in me, turning turning until just right
    i've never quite had those moments with someone my height
    but manage, time to time, with my children

    gold to the spoon
    honey to the chest

  7. Old Ollie,
    This is a very touching poem.
    I particularly like the idea of 'the double gaze'. Captures an image....
    Excellent words....

    Best wishes, Eileen

  9. There's definitely a story hovering in the early morning, just beyond my grasp. Beautiful writing, Ollie.
