Last Night's Fancy

...i wish my pen could capture last night's fancy,

flight of divergent apparitions took my breath away

hallucinations of a dream so real it made me weep

for i saw your face high above the clouds

you appeared as an angel with chimerical wings,  

in their flutter released thousands of butterflies

each one carried a smile of incandescent light

promised posies of an altered moment & space

where poetry becomes reality traced on lofty clouds

amidst trances of tranquility & enchanted frivolity

so here i await on ink's flow with a fool's faith

of glinting endings and freshly burnish'd beginnings...

There are those moments and dreamy escapes that the pen can't capture its essence and glory especially when it is about a special one in our lives. The time and space are surely altered for they reside in a different reality than ours. I think you have been touched by the transcedental nature of the spirit realm and you are feeling like a butterfly in the azure skies...Thank you for sharing ...:)......................

What artistry. Like a famous Van Gogh, painted so beautifully. If only we could write it all down what we fantasized or dreamed what we want to hold onto or keep remembering.

[Rebecca Buller]

A beautiful work of art you've written, Frieda. Sometimes even the pen can't capture the beauty that we see around us or those emotions swirling within us. Perhaps sometimes instead of trying to capture it with words, we should simply just absorb it. Very well done:)

Some hope in here. That's very good to read. Nicely done.

[Elizabeth Marie O'neil-..]

Sounds like you fell in love. Not with a person necessarily but maybe a place, a happening or just a conversation. I really liked the writing. Beautifully done.

[Chloe..Across the Unive..]

This is truly beautiful it is also very inspiring it is so hard to lose those we love and when we do get to get a glimpse of them feeling of their nearness it is like a miracle
Your writing is always so beautiful and so will expressed
I hope that last night's fancy gave you comfort

There are so many dreams that come and go. They feel so real, you want nothing more but to re-live them over and over. Sometimes the dreams are little blessings, giving us moments of peace, and sometimes waking from them just exaggerate reality. I hope your dreams fill you peace more than not. xoxo

Well spoken. Eloquent. Conveys the dreamlike state of the author.

Wow, it is truly such an amazing piece of writing with very strong imagery.

[Ken Simm.]

Such a fine filagree use of language. The words fit the spaces so well and tell the stroy in such shining imagery. I am envious.
