Inquisitive Eyes

Through frosty mists of winter sleep
In hands of time my heart to keep
On tiptoe glance fond ever last
Beyond the future to the past
Avail by veil in gloved regress
A glimpse aloft and well impressed
In tempo slowed and pale consort
A close behold and wild retort
Dessert of mind dispensed and smiled
Beneath the dove flown high and mild
The mountains skin shed white and thin
Below to coat and wandered wind

And land of visions seek the sun
To find cohesive set and done
Beneath the mask of common ground
Peruse the places soft and round
Auspicious sights to call by name
And look in overcast to rain
On frosty mists of winter sleep
The hands of time my heart to keep

I was waiting for this post TD. I seen you wandering around the forum and knew it was only a matter of time before you gifted me with a poem this morning. Loved it! This is a true delight for mine eyes this day. Hugs!

Oh leave of me thy waking dreams
that I might smile in wandering.
Oh flow with me the earthen streams
that I might dwell in pondering.

Oh leave me not thy slumber's quest
or bask alone the wand'ring moon.
For here thee lie in morn of rest..
in wait the cry of lonesome loon.

This lovely octameter was a pleasant sleigh ride this morning.
