(I wrote this in half-an-hour during my insomniac period. Off to bed for me now! (smiles) I hope you like it!  R.E.M By: Noah Eaton 1/1/02 Heathered alpine meadows kneel before my knees Onyx paisley clouds drift through the rosewood bank This jaunting incandescence shimmers as my bangs sway in the wind All my muses come together like strands of pearls and I wear them in fine array I jargonize what only the wind can speak under this Joshua Tree A jurant of insomnia to the search of a simpler notion And now I’m serving time tying these epitaphs of resolutions together Renovating kennings and filling the caesuras of my dreams in motion This is not just another epigram Dream Weaver, send me another telegram To all these things I’ve never seen These things that I’ve dared to believe… Pieces of verse become interwoven in His advocacy In this field of jasmine I lie, in a veil of blackberry sage I wear crystals in the corners of my eyes, my muse becomes abstemious These intimate thoughts and visions become each dreams mucilage This is all just a sanctuary in the heart where we all commune As my eyes are shut in slumber, I am never asleep My spirit is like a barn owl, embracing the stars of the skies I never sleep, I dream This is not just another epigram Dream Weaver, send me another telegram To all these things I’ve never seen These things that I’ve dared to believe… As my eyes drift on in dreams Relentlessly… Peacefully… Happily… [This message has been edited by Mistletoe Angel (01-01-2002 05:47 AM).] |

"As my eyes are shut in slumber, I am never asleep My spirit is like a barn owl, embracing the stars of the skies I never sleep, I dream" "All my muses come together like strands of pearls and I wear them in fine array" Words such as these should awaken the muses in all of us. THis is beautiful writing, my friend. Your poetic talents are on display Take care Liz |
