The Secret Dream Come hither to my secret place, a land of sleeping dreams a hazy nether-land of childhood’s spirited schemes, a land of daily conquests, a place of stories come true, come here and holiday with me, just you and me, we two. What is it now that you would wish to want to be a maiden beautiful, or visit your childhood climbing tree? Shhh, don’t ever tell, but my most beloved dream is when I’m dancing, for I am not then what I seem. Now here I am an age where beauty is just showing slender and nimble, soft and fragrantly glowing dressed in soft hues I am rainbow’s best friend softly the gossamer moves as I shift and bend, my arms raised high, I begin a slow swirl the diaphanous skirt along my legs rise and curl arms curled in my reverie to the musical beat I sway; in this fashion, I dance-sleep the quiet darkness away. Bending, moving, swaying, I’m a ballerina’s quest for I’ve all the right strides, I’m floating my best, a dip, bend, a sway, my skirts drift in the dream’s wind never tiring, I’m living for the dance, and then again through the darkening misty shadows comes the man he’ll dance with me, gliding, softly guiding my hand and for a dance’s eternity we are one in the dream’s wind never tiring, we’re living for the dance, and then again among all the mystic colors and hues of my dream amidst all the musical tones the fading begins and slowly my skirts and feet come to a halting stop the music now fades to gone, my arms to my sides drop. This part of the dream is the leaving time, I look behind where the slippers are, the colorful hued dress of mine, but little sadness, with knowing smile of 90 years, I know there is another night before me, as I’m lifted into my gliding chair. 9 September, 1999 ©KRJ ------------------ Sunshine Words will always express our feelings true. ~~~ KRJ Look, then, into thine heart, and write ~~~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow |
