Constance La France Poet Free verse

A Place Infinite

and in my dream I am in a bizarre, foreign place
a place of infinite shades of green
     veiled in haze-
and I, a striking, ravishing exotic being
         with enchanting strange butterflies and birds-
I am lost in a sea of lush, dripping foliage
   where daggers of heat pierce my skin . . . 
               I belong in this steamy, tropical forest
in this deep-colored and green stained exotic land
  far-off and distant, where all is enticing
         and mysterious wildflowers grow-
     above me the tree canopy is a dazzling jet blue sky
hidden, birds sing melodic songs  . . . 
               here in is a hypnotic peace, untamed
    and apart
               and all I need do-   is close my eyes
