Upon th’ thought do silent spirits hide
Following the course of memories;
I hath seen a dying star still full of life,
Trusting only my vision but dost it lie?
Nightly, from their beds do they awake --
In the midst of knowing they never woke
It was in our lazy rotation we visioned it so,
Nothing is of reason,Motionlessly thoughts do linger,
Shall I confess my thoughts of late?
Ah, ‘tis like none other yet reasonless --
Thou art more than dying stars
thou art th’ fountain of my mind.

Beautifully said.

We can sometimes reason away the truth so trust the vision and the fountain of your mind - my penny's worth.
