I dropped like a stone
sank into the ocean of sleep
listened to my instinct
followed
a lethargic school of fish
and when I encountered my dreams
they took me
right where I was supposed to be—
in the middle of his

Powerful. Image-provoking, and brilliant in its brevity.

Nathalie, stunning poem, quite romantic. Such a terrific phrase, “sank into the ocean of sleep”. I like how you used the idea of sleep to suggest that dreams indeed can come true. Beautifully written, there’s something very magical captured in your words. ~ Mia 🙂

Fate may take inscrutable shapes. Usually not freedom. When they say “All roads lead to Rome” … who (or what) guides us to Rome: is it the city, our own steps, or some sort of transcendent plan?… 😉 I love the imaginery in this poem dear Natalie… Nice one… Have a great day! 😀
