This World of Mine

This world of mine, this fantasy
Of which my pen so flowingly
Makes candles dance in midnight dark
And blue jays dance on snow capped bark

This is in truth reality
Of what lies deep inside of me
Those little stars that dot the sky
The lyrics of a lullaby

The way a lovely petal turns
The untamed heat as passion burns
The hopes, the love, the pain, the fears
The tender wet of child’s tears

It’s not my hand that scrolls the phrase
It is the life of passing days
Recorded in the eye and mind
That sings a rhythmic verse of rhyme

I do not chose to come to me
My fantasys' realities
They shine as dreams from dreamer’s star
They live within - They simply are

Liz,
I'm a puddle. I would rather read your poetry than breathe. I know because I can't do both at the same time, and I keep reading. Do you write by candlelight?

Oh Elizabeth " they simply are" there is so much in these three little words. Money doesnt mean a thing, The best and most cherished things in life are free. What God gives us, our family, love, this is a wonderful heartfelt poem. floria
