Far beyond mans intrusions,
A vast hidden world lives on.
An ancient fortress lost amidst,
Historical reference, a faded shade,
Amongst remembrances memory.
Imagination limitless vision,
Separating conscious truth,
And make believers legendary
Spree.
Conjuring mystical thoughts,
Simply, Drifting aloft,
Revealing a forgotten golden age.
Let castaways adventurers fly away
Into magics paradise,
As sunshine's rays, flicker amidst
Mid summers softening light.
Illuminating forgotten stone gardens,
Secret courtyards in splendors array.
Rose covered vines, weaving down
Walled trellises evergreen.
Ruined towers jetting upward,
Blanketed by thickened mosses
Torrents.
Crystal clear water streams, forth
Through cupid fountains.
Nesting song birds, sing loves,
Harmonious music.
Wooing hearts at winged flight.
Glide without tethers strings,
Rejoicing carefree,
Within natures solitude.
Reclining, beside a shaded,
Willow tree I'm resting,
Completely to mine ease.
Watching clouds placing,
Ideally,
By as dusken stars.
Pass beneath nights,
Blackening sky’s.
Knowing at last the beauty,
That is Avalon.
BY: CHERYL ANNA DUNN
I am the dawning man
The waking limb
An unbowed willow
You are the dusken girl
The tangled sheet
A dewed down meadow
We are sown seeds
Folded into the earth
Whose roots weave
And cannot be unpicked
We are green leaves
Laced with silk
In whose curl
Transformation sleeps
We are a chrysalis!
Love seen in a Rorschach!
A dog eared page of poetry
That is sealed with glue
