Dreams
Reverie is not a fool's paradise
nor should a muse be dismissed.
Inspiration's worn as a crown,
carefully cupped in one's hand;
released when stars align
visions breath, and passion's ready to soar.

This is for "https://dversepoets.com/2018/02/13/inspired-by-art/" The image is by Catrin Welz-Stein and I encourage you to flip over to her enchanting designs. HERE is her blog. This image is one of four that have been approved by the artist to use with the dVerse poetic challenge.
These two poems are also linked with "Imaginary Garden with Real Toads - Tuesday Platform"
I sometimes have a BAD habit of NOT reading all the rules closely before I write for a poetic challenge ...
I wrote the poem BELOW to one of Catrin Welz-Stein's images that was NOT one of the four granted for the challenge. I will only provide that image if I get approval from the artist.
The Passing
Mortality is a mystery
(in the end) of repose or ruin,
paradise or destruction.
How to tell
the doves I release
are peacemakers or passive resisters?
Do I mourn you
or am I merely brokenhearted
over something veiled...
camouflaged behind
what should have been?

Below is an approved image (one of four) and my poem.
