Possibility of Dreams


She wrote the dream in disappearing ink and tore it into pieces. Tossing her poem in the air, she filled an invisible cloud with truth and possibility, then blew it out to sea.

      Ah, yes. But for whom? Dreams are fickle, I've found.
      Thanks for reading, Sam!

      Well, you know how clouds work, out to sea and back again as rain...

    Sounds like a wish as opposed to a dream (my personal brain functioning) and love how you describe it. Holding a dream in our minds may as well be invisible ink in an invisible cloud but yours is so much prettier.

    neat very visual - that's really what we do with dreams isn't it? let it out into the world to try and seed somewhere else...

    When I tear stuff up it usually goes into the trash. Maybe I should try making clouds instead (: Wonderful piece!

    Kymm - I love this. Our words are often tossed into the wind - we never know when or if they will come back, come true. Lovely

    like a yogic philosophy almost, own your dreams and then let them go into the universe to see what fruit they bear. i'll bookmark this one and come back to read it more than once.

      As the yogi would say, but, little grasshopper, you will never see the fruit they may bear. hehe.

    I loved everything about this. The idea of sending little pieces of my dreams on the winds to be scattered everywhere is tempting to me. Filling the clouds with truth and possibility and blowing it out to sea, but being the only one who knows courtesy of the invisible ink...maybe I'll try it one of these days!

    Very well done!
