To Pillow

I pillow under the willow tree
With thoughts upon an argosy
Sailing to horizons bend
And finding that there is no end.

For I sail the sail of fantasy
To find the Isle of ecstasy
Back to Eden from whence I came
To bring me back the cargos blame.

The sea is rough with froth and foam
And thunder everywhere I roam
And sun bleaches white the spawn
To hide the place where I was born.

Now age has yellowed up the page
And phantoms form the bars of cage
And I am in a doldrums keep
With brine upon my cheek from weep

And catch less is horizons flight
In the day or in the night

==================================

I'll meet you in Eden under the willow tree,
you bring Randy...I'll bring the winkies. *L*

There is a pleasure in the pathless woods.
There is a rapture on the lonely shore.
I love not man the less ... but Nature more.

Dear Seymour, after checking “argosy”, “froth”, “doldrums”, I am ready to weep now together with you ….. You always add to my English word treasure. Doldrums, doldrums ….

A wonderful, melancholic write. May the sun kiss you today so that you will smile again, Poet!
Love and hugs. Margherita

Sy, this stanza especially caught my attention:

Now age has yellowed up the page
And phantoms form the bars of cage
And I am in a doldrums keep
With brine upon my cheek from weep

J.R.R. Tolkien (or Gandalf) couldn't have put it better.
