Dixie’s Reverie 03 May 2006 Was it the music, or door to our heart. An understanding, an opening, just knowing where in rhythm to start. Could this be love, or was amour too late, could it be beauty, the way her heart does beat. Gentle sorrow, a Gretel to speak. Cinderella or the Gingerbread man. Run fast, run ever faster, moving forth, if and only can Just to know your hand was near, to be at your side, if but in spirit to give. Each shadow your shade, another way of touch the reality of tears, sorrow to out cry. Was there even an end to be alone, could truth win in truth given. Jesus Christ in summation, this enchanting elegance, of her in His way of atone Tales like the “Gingerbread Man”, a poem of a tradition origin (perhaps of the 19th century) and “Cinderella” (a popular classic fairy [folk] tale, which there were hundreds of versions before modern times. The earliest said to have originated in China around 860 AD). and “Hansel and Gretel” and a gingerbread house, a fairytale written by the Grim Brothers, Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm during the 1800’s. Are one way in teach lessons of life, particularly in early childhood. As much as parables and scripture found in the Holy Bible and other religious script are said to contain a blueprint to how a life should be lived. Yet when truth and fiction meet, it may be the poet who sounds out such reverie of verse to real time (daydreaming, an abstracted state of absorption) “Reverie is when ideas float in our mind without reflection or regard of the understanding.” John Locke (1632-1704) 17th-century English philosopher © 2006 Christopher W Herbert (a New Zealand Poet) a poet who cares Where reality and Dixie meet /pip/Forum94/HTML/003463.html [This message has been edited by poettothecars (05-03-2006 07:33 AM).] |

some people just do not understand, a poet who cares, truly does in New Zealand a Kiwi bird is the true New Zealand national symbol, and a reference to a New Zealander, a New Zealand person known in affection as being a Kiwi. so goes the New Zealand saying 'Kiwi's care' or 'Be a Tidy Kiwi' in the case of littering the Kiwifruit is in truth a variety of Chinese Gooseberry, and is so misnamed. a poet who cares |
