Imagination Says, a New Vagabond I Shall Be
Imagination Says, A New Vagabond I Shall Be
Longing for beauty, I walk amidst the flowers
An olden warrior, free from fallen towers
Yet soul in me, glorious peace simply cannot find
For lonesome heart weeps deeply into troubled mind
In a moment, eyes spot a hungry little bee
Gathering its load, mindless of the lonesome me
Lost in a new world, ruled by this unruly heart
I realize this, how that little bee is so smart.
With newfound knowledge, being busy is the golden key.
Onward I trek, renewed spirit resting within me.
With heart that has from its unrelenting pains found its relief.
All this beauty surrounding- releases this soul from grief.
For prison chains have been broken, redemption has found me.
Imagination says, a new vagabond I shall be.

Rhyme
Personal Note:
Waking from an afternoon dream,
After my reading my newfound book, titled
Plato, Epictetus , Marcus Aurelius from The
Harvard Classics, Deluxe Edition, I had this
moment of clarity, a voice said- now write,
Please do something that is not so Sad and Dark.
My muse laughed, and then far away she fled.
Next to my front porch I very hurriedly went
Could this composing truly be its own blessing,
By a stroke of dreaming, precious time well spent?
Quote: Emily Dickinson-
“Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul and sings the tune without the words and never stops at all.”
