“Let us beware, therefore, of assigning
too narrow limits to the causes which
produce the poetic exaltation of mind.”

William Cullen Bryant
September, 1870
Illustrated Library of
World Poetry

                                        Leave the poet or dreamer
                                        of dream
                                        alone to write with
                                        mystic seam,
                                        alone to chance a love
                                                    rehearsed
                                        in simple line of
                                        poetic verse.

                                        Ah, flight ~ thy soul
                                        takes wing
                                        into the night
                                        and comes to view
                                        the dawn of day
                                        when left to dream
                                        thy written say

                                        Sweet course this quill
                                        doth take,
                                        and speed my soul
                                        to a land of midnight’s shoal
                                        to a feel
                                        that within is real,
                                                  ah,
                                        sweet course, thy
                                        quill doth take

                                        Shall my mind,
                                        then,
                                        be more enhanced
                                        should a lover of read
                                        not
                                        narrow this chance
                                        of what, in view,
                                        as eye perceives,
                                        would beckon me back
                                        and end thy leave.

                                        So if thou cares not
                                        for thy write,
                                        then pray bid me
                                        a fond good night,
                                        and I shall bid you
                                        a fond adieu,
                                        praying that God
                                        will see you through

                                        then I shall turn
                                        and lift up thy quill,
                                        and lend my heart
                                        to my gardens, still.

Sweet course this quill doth take,

to a feel that within is real,

=========================
thy poem in now in thine library
thou thanks thee

(waaay cool poem Sun ... way)

your poetic exhaultation is

Looking hard into your eyes,
There was nobody I'd ever known.
Such an empty surprise ...
To feel so alone.

Many times I've said - praise words for your posts - and placed them among my treasures = this one - exceeds them all so far - - I sincerely hope and pray - you're preparing a book of poetry for publcation - this one belongs there for sure
