A Daydream

What reverie has changed her eyes that she the page no longer sees? what memories move her mind to turn to fathom deeper mysteries than the exciting tales she reads? Oh, the thrilling story written-- if she the words to pen could lend-- telling how her heart was smitten. See just where she turned away from the song so finely crafted-- marked with slim finger for the world- fairer lines are therein grafted. A heart from baser thoughts kept pure could write poems for the ages; calmly she contemplates great thoughts unknown to history's sages. Copyright 4/30/2014 Faye Gibson

Daydreams can open up the heart and stimulate the mind... Oh, once...just once... I wish ... a few... would come alive... Welcome to PoetrySoup! Love you poem... Most people put only a few of the old poems on each day so we're not overwhelmed and can read them... But If you leave a comment on one of mine... I'll have a path way to find... my way back to you again, yes another time...

Hi Faye! The world of thought opened up by great literature. We ponder it ever so ephemerally. And then it is gone. Lost to the ages. You capture this moment of "reverie" beautifully here. Thank you for sharing. Peace...Sam

Wow, I can see why you are number One /Eight silk threads, twist 'round eight more/ to weave the verses that she wore/. Casting off the worldly linen/ To reveil a finer ninon
