Dreamscape Voyage Finale (Desert of Pride)

Finally we reached the bridge’s end

The last of this world’s enigmas to comprehend

My guides ever changing face in a disappointed stare

I felt another lesson he was about to share.

 

“Before us stretches an everlasting sand

When in its place a mighty forest ought to stand.

Are you not proud of what you’ve made?

Has no joy you’ve experienced ever stayed?”

 

There was a time when a forest mighty may be

But doubt, fear and angst has caused it to become deceased.

Many a days make me feel as though I walk this desert

Endless dunes and miles of nothing until my mood reverts

 

“So it would seem that you’ve been to this place before

But now you have me here to help you restore

The canopy of trees raised by your pride

Think long and hard, reach deep inside”

 

I then began to ponder my life

For anything positive to outshine the strife.

And soon the memories overcame me

Each pleasant thought slowly began to change this scene.

 

For every realization, the ground began to shift

Leaves and sticks from the sand began to lift

Until replaced by mud and soon a grassy plain

Further thought created a quenching rain.

 

“Though only saplings, in time these trees will grow.

Seek help  and eventually a true forest you will know.

There is nothing more in this world for us to see.

Explore further another night, but for now your journey is complete.”

 

My dream then began to fade

As I awoke to the rising light of day

The lessons I learned from my guide still on my mind

As I prepared to find them the right moments in my life to apply.

  1. “I then began to ponder my life

    For Me – done of the most relatable words you’ve ever written.

    Love the journey you took me on.
    Excellent, as always!

  2. ooh that’s what we’ve been waitin’ for.. if you’ve read The Witcher, or maybe played the video game, you could notice the ambient you create is very similar to some part of that story.. but anyway, I think this is just the right ending for the series, especially since the last line shows how important these pieces are.. it’s simply.. genuine… fantastic

    • Thank you Nebojsa! Now I might just have to give The Witcher a try, might give me a better point of reference for when I play as Geralt in Soulcalibur 6! I’m glad that the ending didn’t disappoint and I appreciate that you caught the way it brought the other parts together! Thank you sir!

  3. There are so many good lines in this which makes it a superb poem. I can see you can come up with so many ideas and put it into poetry. I’ve always had an eye for that. Great job on this awesome piece!

    • Thanks Jarid! I’ve always had a pretty vivid imagination when it comes to fantasy and sci-fi
      And I’m glad it translates well here!
