The Gilded Mirror

The Gilded Mirror I hold my dreams inside my past Where moonlight glows on rivers fast And raging temples built in haste Will dissipate, no longer chaste O the anthems proud men froze In gilded frames of priestly pose Release my shackles! bound inside My beating heart, where fears reside At dawn the grassy pond will sing In silent praise! My endless spring! 6/19/10 For Carolyn's contest

Congratulation James, on a worthy poem success, not only in the contest, but also with it's spiritual insight into the pose of fleshly priestly, natural form. Yes, yes, release my shackles of mindly pose, and let my paranormal free of this earthy illusion. Agape, Moses
