I had a dream that I would write
A verse too beautiful to read
A verse that quenched the thirst of thirst
The love of love, the need of need

A verse that flowed like water
From my soul
And in its eloquence it testified
To all the joy and pain
I ever knew.
It was a dream of you

Before the dawn reached out its palest light
A flower bloomed from seed
And in the night
I wrote a verse too beautiful to read

Wow, dear Elizabeth, this is stunning! The night's treasures sometimes remain hidden indeed. And you expressed yourself masterfully as always.

Hugs.

Exquisite, Liz, it brought tears to my eyes . . . I hate to spoil things for you, though, in telling you that all your poetry is too beautiful to read - when I see your name, I hone in on your poem, knowing that what I will find is beautiful beyond beautiful.

Hard to come up with anything which hasn't been said Elizabeth, but I can, and will, say that your Muse was working overtime when you penned this one. Excellent!
