Body and Mind

My body sleeps my mind awake
Illusion has my sails in take
I try to guide my ship on course
But cannot fight illusions force

I see a rainbow in the sky
Butterflies o’er the flowers fly
And valley’s green are in the scene
While spirits glean the fields in preen

Weeping willows weep in shade
A place to hide the heat of glade
A place to lay my thoughts in test
A place to make a nest to rest

She waits for me on Eden’s shore
But stands behind an apples core
Sending fumes of changing grime
That eats my path with acids time

But even time will bow to when
And we will be together then.

How inviting this place sounds!
Wonderful thoughts you leave us with this morn.
~Smiles & hugs, Nancy~

In the midst of winter,
I found there lives within me..
an invincible summer.

I enjoyed meandering through this one, Sy...
it seemed very warm, close and familiar...

you get extra winkies for that line.

*ww*

Among the kingdom of the winds ...
perhaps there is one of elegant mind,
who has no need to intrude on the solitude of single things.

Oh, those rainbows and butterfly and flowers.... if they are an illusion, at least they are pleasants ones!  Sy, I agree with you and believe those last two lines.   .......jo
