Notes About The Poem

Voyages of Promise

They are  living daydreams,
dressed in clouds of  light

brought into being
from stardust
a lost race

 Eternal, childlike

No -one knows the star
Or, from how far they travelled

To pause at the edge 
of myth

To fling bright peonies into
gray oceans

to turn hopeless allegory’s
into voyages of promise

A STRAND (1060)

Awesome poem, Suz! Enjoyed the daydreams dressed in clouds of light and exquisite vocabulary: To pause at the edge of myth, To fling bright peonies into gray oceans, to turn hopeless allegorys into voyages of promise. Excellent-- an instant FAVE.
