Waking Dream

david holmberg

Sunrise, blue sky
it's a beautiful day
I've got nothing to do
I could take off and fly away

At dawn birds sing
my mind spins around
looking for peace
in echoing halls

It slips away
through jungles and caravans
it's sky is lit by a million fireflies

Fading in
focusing
I enter the day
thats been waiting for me

The daily routine kicks in and life resumes
it makes me disconnected
from what I really want to do

But in between the moments
I feel rejuvenated
my mind is elevated
and I can see that I am free

david holmberg

I'm a Swedish artist with many fields of interest.My poems are often about spirituality, philosophy, love, emotions and sometimes they are even a tad nonsensical :)I have a history of depression and alot of reflection about my self, conciousness and the world. I am introverted, honest and love to delve into the different realms of art and spirituality!My poetry is very personal and I never try to mimic any other poets.While I haven't explored the stilistical forms of poetry so much I try to work with expression and painting a picture, try to keep it as free as possible. Although I might try out different forms in the future should I feel to. Aaaanyways welcome to my page, hope you enjoy yourself! Any feedback or just spontaneous reactions are much appreciated! :-) more…
