Notes About The Poem
Written in mixed old Shakespearean style and modern style, 2024, by Laura Gail Sweeney. This is an imaginary journey into a dreamer's dreamy forest.
Encompassed by the Lore of the Forest
I bid thee welcome upon my doting journey midst the forest boughs.
Give thee welcome to this, my visioned passage into the trees.
Thrice bound within the wood's dark embrace.
Where ancient tales did lead our youths apace.
Wondrous visions served as a hiding place.
In spectacles of many-hued grace.
An aged sprite hath slumbered there for ages told,
Invoking air, and fire, and waters cold.
Leading dreamers down a winding way,
Of folded parchment where inklings stay..
There, the mind doth drink and feast its fill,
Midst gods and gnomes and fey of wondrous skill!
The Ascent to Wonder!
Lo! In the distance, a mountain peak doth rise!
Tis Asgard beckoning to the mortal eyes!
Where winged insects meet with sci-fi strange!
And stars do sprout wherever feel may engage.
Into another dream the spirit flies,
Creeping through the heights of rhythmic verse!
To seek the rugged bards who myths rehearse!
Green-cladd poets, blessed with thoughts divine.
Whose phenomenal folk in glory shine.
Fierce spirits of the air in ceaseless flight.
Forevermore, in paths of infinite light!!!!
The Return of Radiance
Thirdly, unto the realm of light once more.
Where sunbeams pierce the forest's ancient floor.
Through gracious trees the warmth of wisdom flows.
As from the seeker's mind, a vision grows.
A truth eternal born of wisdom's might!
Trapped in the forest,
These old stories carried youth into the woods.
Extraordinary dreams to hide in.
Polychromatic spectacles.
An old elf dozing there for years.
Invoking air, fire and water, leading dreamers down a wondrous path!
