A Complicated Vision

In the absence of complication,
trials and tribulations become distant memories.
Above sapphire skies delight sanguine eyes -
inspiring forthcoming musings of the mind.

In a drowsy hypnagogic state, I see thee far away, 
A dazzling, delightful, divine ethereal spirit
Drifting in the vastness of amaranthine space
Beckoning toward patches of divergent hues.

I discover sublime elation at the scene, 
Impossible to restrain and slowly I open my manuscript
Write all that I can see, visions impossible to discern.
Why could I never capture the aesthetic beauty before me?

My yearning overtakes my aspirations to capture
The quintessence of such elusive diaphanous beauty 
Till I wake, look around, feel sweat of ephemeral queasiness,
Read my endeavours in a language I could not discern.

I like the dreamy quality of this poem, Victor. I, too, am at loss to describe divine spirits. But you do capture beauty, Victor. This poem proves that. Best wishes, Carolyn
