From Dewy Dreams

 From dewy dreams, my soul, arise, 
From love's deep slumber and from death, 
For lo! the treees are full of sighs 
Whose leaves the morn admonisheth. 

Eastward the gradual dawn prevails 
Where softly-burning fires appear, 
Making to tremble all those veils 
Of grey and golden gossamer. 

While sweetly, gently, secretly, 
The flowery bells of morn are stirred 
And the wise choirs of faery 
Begin (innumerous!) to be heard.

Hi! Your poetry really caught my attention, especially the way each stanza seems to lead naturally into the next. It made me think about how interesting it would be to visually continue that progression. I’m a commission artist who enjoys turning written ideas into connected visuals, and I’d love to work with you on a continuous visual sequence where each stanza becomes the inspiration for the next visual, allowing the poem to unfold visually from beginning to end. If you’d ever be interested in exploring that idea, I’d be happy to connect. Discord: eve_verse Email: [email protected]
