Cosmic Dreams

Be it evidence consequence or coincidence
Every night as I succumb to somnolence

Heavenly smoke rings of frankincense
Rise upwards with sweet opulence

Dulcet dreams inevitably commence
Without fanfare hype or pretense

While sweet loving arms of providence
Wrap around me a shroud of benevolence

Under a scented canopy of impermanence
Ablaze with the aura of glowing confidence

Revealing universal secrets of magnificence
I humbly bow in unpretentious reverence

Adrift in solitude so many nights hence
I reminisce of nostalgia in the past tense

I read this, then read it again, and again! Just kidding, it is written so beautifully. I don' t think I have ever used some of these words. But I certainly respect and enjoyed your clever use of them. A favorite, Line!
