Quietude in a Dream


In my dream ... I am swirling in circles,
          lost in a wild turbulent vortex surge;
light flutters and pirouettes with sparkles,
     and at last from the whirlwind ... I emerge.

I am in this secluded place hued green,
          an  illusion airy, misty pretty;
love places not synthetic ... but serene.
     Is this only a place of dreams ? ... Pity !

I do like rustic pastoral terrain,
          but, love this place of flowers, water, trees;
the sun an emanate radiate stain,
     bursting forth, scattered light binging a breeze. 

At dawn ... I watch a sweet blossom unfold,
           in the arising sun they will flourish;
in the silence the scene is bathed in gold,
     the stillness, calmness, quietness ... nourish.

I wish that this was not a timeless dream,
          endless and infinite and eternal;
but, my own sweet perpetual moon beam,
     to a hued place ... when I am nocturnal.
