Lost Dreams

When mind wanders,
and travels with the soul
thoughts wait for answers.
Abysses there,
where once were forests and life,
now only bare land remains.
Lost like future dreams,
and frozen as autumn leaves
in early winter.

Gert W. Knop, born in 1943, studies art and tropical agriculture in Germany and Scotland (University of Edinburgh). He has lived in many different countries and writes mainly in German, English and Spanish. He currently resides in Zittau (Saxony), Germany.

    1. Dear Inge, sorry to post a late reply, my friend, but I was so busy to write Christmas greetings to many friends and relatives besides still suffering from a lasting cold. I appreciate your words and hope that you won't catch a bad cold as I did.

      Love,
      Gert
