Out of Dreams

 

Our sweetest gifts are seldom on time

Interrupted by the tambourine of song

Thus it is that they arrive with rhyme

 

Out of dreams which are so unseen

Wander images of sweet loveliness

Delighting thought’s uttermost Eden

 

A vision held for one solitary moment

Transporting soul to rapturous heaven

Delivering us to our sweetest torment

 

A miraculous image of purest delight

Untouched of tears or shadow’s sorrow

Falls in veils of truth revealing insight

 

A smile writ upon the eternity above 

Descended in flows of written words

Inscribed itself upon soul’s earthly love

 

As unfolds the lotus on flowing water

Upon fire flamed in passion’s stillness

Unmoving it reveals itself everywhere

 

Hearts are filled with laughter’s comedy

As loving truth greets itself so tenderly

Sorrow’s banished to tears empty eternity

 

Eyes may sing like lips can tender smile

And sense abandon thought in reverie

Loving song thus sings sweet so versatile

 

To repose in slumbers outstretched cathedral

Labyrinth trespassing waking tiredness invites

Wandering in dreams unconscious ceremony

 

Vision is the key to the architectural mystery

Our sweetest dreams occur in sleep serene

Mystery invades somnambulant imagination

 

Waking we seldom see what we have seen

Thus thought denies revealing interpretation

Waking doth shake our dreaming sonnet

 

The sweetened wine of human ceremony

Invokes each moment so unforgotten

Forever held sacred in fondest memory

 

Tomorrow unfolds as the future drama

Today enfolds the past in present beauty

Love reveals to us our Commedia Divina

 

Each hearts journey to the soul of love

Travelling through the labyrinth of loss

Is drawn there by some unnamed above.
