Descant A song was born in me today-- A golden, giddy kind-- That minded not the passing gray But visioned blue behind. A sweeter tune was never heard Than such was sung to me Amidst the chaos, like a bird That braves the stormy sea. Who could keep a sober tread And plod against this beat? Chimeras dance within my head, Inspire my earthen feet. I know not whether those around Could hear the joyous strains Unless, perchance, they heard when I Joined in on the refrains! Such funny looks have come my way! And, blushing, have I tried To subjugate these whims that play Unbidden by my side. Yet, even when I scorned her charms, Betrayed my muse with lies-- She merely spread those slender arms And laughed and kissed the skies! |

Anne~ Oh, my goodness. My muse throws her hands in the air in total bewilderment at me sometimes too. What marvelous images you conjured up with this. Extremely well-done. Hope to see more. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |
