ALL DREAMS DON'T COME TRUE

Last night
I was half asleep
singing my new songling
poem

O Maria Maria Maria
I was doggy tired
@81 old age
could not come out of my cage
O what a midnight rage
my dreams kept me engaged
now I can't recall
those words which come
if at all like a rainbow
from a distant horizon
blind eyes cant see

Will one day a Milton I be
or deaf as Beethoven was they say
composed musical poems all day
was maestro of his day

Deaf as me may be
one day
Lord Byron
Milton Beethoven or Wordsworth
I could be

Shakespeare is to the world so dear
him furious I won't like to see

But Robert Frost
I could be
frozen as ice is in Iceland
yet most say
Pablo's duplicate
Ah!
what an exceptional sign of glee
for me

Hi, Lovedly,
You are correct - not all dreams come true. Many times they take a detour. This is a very energetic poem, full of anticipation and desire. I noticed the word 'songling'. I'm not familiar with this word, but I really like it!
Thank you!
