Faye Gibson Poet Rhyme

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.

Sam Toil May 1, 2014 at 10:08 AM 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 Faye Gibson May 1, 2014 at 6:18 PM Thank you, Sam. You are becoming a real Poetry Soup friend.
