Slow motion dream

by Natalie   May 11, 2008


Running in a dream and its like slow motion,
Walking in real life, no real destination,
Dreams expressing my neglected inner desires,
As hope, love and creation gently expires.

Children's eyes tearing monumentally,
Mankind's blunder quintessentially,
Depicting reality diving into its gradual demise,
Ignorant people rejecting my purest advice.

I am running like crazy in my perfect dream,
Fleeing the hatred, greed and my inner scream,
But my dream's speed is only slow motion,
I cannot run, it is only my childish notion.

There is nowhere to go to, everywhere is polluted,
Innocent feelings, because of sin, softly diluted.

    Natalie,

    Your talent is literally breathtaking!

    Running in a dream and its like slow motion,
    ^This is a great start to set the poems scene.

    Walking in real life, no real destination,
    ^Snatched out of the unreal dream into the real world, a world of indecision! Great line!

    Dreams expressing my neglected inner desires,
    ^A wonderful description of the subconscious mind :o)

    As hope, love and creation gently expires.
    ^Fulfillment and satisfaction in life can be so fragile. (Gently expires) great expression of fragile happiness!

    Childrens eyes tearing monumentally,
    ^The worlds most innocent cry the most! Again, wonderful description (tearing monumentally)

    Mankind's blunder quintessentially,
    ^The world should know better, but mankind is ignorant, hiding within their fortresses away from the real world!

    Depicting reality diving into its gradual demise,
    ^I see this line as a person stepping away from the rot to see the true extent of the damage.

    Ignorant people rejecting my purest advice.
    ^Again those who can help often bury their heads away from responsibilities!

    I am running like crazy in my perfect dream,
    ^I imagine you dreaming a perfect world, a world free of war and poverty, a world where everyone is given the same rights and opportunities no matter what colour their skin, or nationality they are!

    Fleeing the hatred, greed and my inner scream,
    ^Reality is dark and we live amongst the inner dead!

    But my dream's speed is only slow motion,
    ^I love this line - The world is in such an awful state that it even permeates a perfect dream, slowing it down, preventing the world from being absolved of its sins!

    I cannot run, it is only my childish notion.
    ^A sad realization of your perfect dream, being just that a dream!

    There is nowhere to go to, everywhere is polluted,
    ^Sinking despair of the dark world we live. We are like fish, polluting the bowl in which we swim!

    Innocent feelings, because of sin, softly diluted.
    ^The reality is that our home has too much wrong going on. Our haven has a raven!!

    One day the world will take notice of your inspiring words! I certainly hope so baby!
