I watched in silent reverie
as the leaves spun around midstream,
revealing swirls of life before my eyes,
a multitude in variegated disguise,
sometimes truth, sometimes lies.

And in reaching out to grasp them
I became obsessed with those
I saw reflecting truth;
or were they...in disguise?

And holding them closely
was no guarantee
that what I thought I saw
is the truth of what I did see.

So, does that make me
an icon of naïvety?
Or perhaps
merely a poetic dreamer?

This is a beautiful puzzle of a poem Midnitesun. Enjoyed it very much...several times.

K - I would say, the world needs more poetic "dreamers" like you.   ....jo
