Kilimanjaro – A Dream
The chassis bumps us along the western slope of Kilimanjaro The eastern sun rises in a haloed circle In dizzying loops to lasso peak Blinding my eyes to the prize Of alpine epiphany on a baptismal summit
A hitchhiker knows the way The ghost lady takes the driver’s seat Her hands hold the wheel To steer us onward to the sun stirrups Her pale blue eyes reflect a séance of tears With her climb long over and ending in tragedy Leaving her to roam the hallowed ground Where she was buried On the flutter of an angelic void spirit
The sign says “All Kilimanjaro Attractions” We take the road toward ascent We are greeted at the base camp by African drummers A fortuitous beginning for an alpine trek A Chinaman serves potluck stew My fortune cookie says: “A safe journey awaits the brave.”

This is a fascinating dream, John; superbly written. You received the perfect fortune cookie prediction before this elevated trek

Glad you enjoyed my friend. This is my first dream poem in over a week. I had a med change which left my dreams grey. But now the color is being restored. John

Michael wouldn't they though? Something like the recorder in Natalie Wood's last movie, "Brainstorm" would do nicely. Maybe I could sell the videos to supplement my income. But just having them would be great. John

Thanks, Dan. Love how you felt the nostalgia here. Though I've never been to Kilimanjaro this dream was a nostalgia for my mountaineering days in Colorado. Very keen that you picked up on that my friend. John
