Ah, I remember, a long long time ago…
When my child muse was still by my side
Singing her sweet, ethereal song
Dancing her light-footed dance across the
Chuckling brook of thoughts
And strains of laughter echoed in the chambers of my soul.
Ah, I recall, she used to whisper in my ear
Such absurd ideas, and bubble dreams
That made me smile within and without.
Now, oh the woes, of now
The black arrow of time has pierced her
And she lies fitfully sleeping in the overgrown garden
Lines of sorrow have creased her once youthful crown
Waiting for the kiss, perhaps, of a muse prince
But for now, she will remain in her slumber
In the mystical realms of the poet's imagination

(c)Tina TT October 1999

~What if you slept? What if, in your sleep, you dreamed? And in your dream, you went to heaven and there plucked a strange and beautiful flower? And what if, when you awoke, you had that flower in your hand? Aye, what then?~
