"Wanderlust" Deep within the dark of dreaming As I lay asleep in bed Ensconced in visions bright and gleaming Moving through my head Yet as I linger in this brightness From outside there comes a call Persuasive with alluring lightness Holding me enthralled Through my dreams it dances lightly Laughing as it beckons me Enticing with its movements sprightly Steadfast in its plea Of distant lands it sings unending Painting vistas clear and bright And tempts me still with words unbending All throughout the night A wanderlust it seems has caught me Fast within its sordid spell And long, it seems, this sprite has sought me This much I can tell Now with words both bright and tempting How it tries to lead me on It with subtle charms attempting That which can't be done For though its voice is so appealing And its words so tempting, too 'Tis here I've found my place for healing Lying next to you August 27, 2009 AMdG "My candle burns at both ends; it will not last the night; but ah, my foes, and oh, my friends--it gives a lovely light!" -Edna St. Vincent Millay |

wunderbar! LOVE this stanza, especially... Through my dreams it dances lightly Laughing as it beckons me Enticing with its movements sprightly Steadfast in its plea |
