A Day In the Middle Ages
I dreamt of a bygone past
through a real vision of mind,and
with wide-open eyes: so real
was the lively dream
that all my senses savored
it as long as it lasted...
I traveled in captivity,
abandoned myself
to a journey in remoteness:
I saw impregnable fortressess
and unconquerable castles
on sun-drenched,barren hills;
so great,so immense
was my credibility...
Lush,virgin forests lying beneath
massive and foggy mountains,
making the merry sounds
of sparkling streams
and crackling leaves;
alone in the wildrness
to test the strenght
of my erring spirit:
when I could hear in a sky without clouds:
God's spirit floating on the winds,
and fierce,clashing armies
filling the murky air with death....
I dreamed of lovely dames
riding stallions alongside
young,handsome princes:
I even joined in their frantic cavalcades
through groves of pines and maples,
to find the glimmering meadows
where their bodies united in amorous
and passionate delight...
I dreamt of a mysterious past,
buried with the opaque secret
of the Dark Ages, when innocence
was considered a rare virtue,
elevating itself to a place of blue:
where God listened with joy
to adorn that soul with glory...
