Dreambells

Posted on by Reena Saxena 
 Where can you find a bell 
 that will ring in your dreams?
  
 where can you find a dream
 which will fire life
 above, below and beyond
 hollow spaces - that house
 fear and consternation?
  
 Where can you find a space
 to call your own
 impermeable to judgement
 unwelcoming naysayers
 open to exhilaration?
  
 Where can you find
 Exhilaration
 -pure, unadulterated
 where bells of acceptance
 raise vibrations?
  
  
 Where can you find a bell 
 that will ring in your dreams?
 Darkness engulfs
 silence is deafening
 a restless soul screams…

  1. Good questions, Reena, but I was drawn to the spaces, the hollow ones, the one you can call your own, and how they led to the final lines of darkness, deafening silence and a restless soul’s scream.

  6. All your questioning stanzas resonate. I especially like the penultimate one
    “where bells of acceptance
    raise vibrations?”

    A really fine response to the Neruda prompt – thank you for joining in – [but since you use his words directly in the poem you need to reference that.]
