Trance

And all my days are trances
And all my nightly dreams
Are where the grey eyes glances 
and where the footstep gleams In the ethereal dances
But what eternal streams

Edgar Allen Poe
To One in Paradise


Re-write

As I danced in a sleep like trance
A dreamly night
I had in my sight
Where all the glances was upon me 
My footsteps floated around the floor like a cloud
I looked around and I was proud
Not only with external beams but inward dreams
