A Lost Poem It has taken the grist of a full day to expose this night, after great probing, only to discern the moment’s gel hasn’t yet fully congealed, as thoughts are like minute white whales ~ whipping snippets of poems and their beginnings trailing through salt water kisses, any likening of self to some great artist falls false among another’s own shadows, myriad showings slicing reality and I tremble, for the moon shall rise almost a full body of itself, still, and enough, strong and willed, bluish white trails to follow as it lights the ground and leaves… me unfulfilled. Oh! Yet, those scenic dreams of yestermorn… amid awakenings and substance fleeting even as Ingmar’s dreams of fear and consciousness arise, finding some pride in manhood, some sense of time, some control, as transitory as an ashen whale…Ingmar’s accent colors my hearing, even as a spine straightens under parental control; ethnicity leaks stronger into this vessel. Somewhere in life’s blue blood, before particles of air hit corpuscles and redden, some long ago Viking mixed minutia over some winsome Germanic maid, under a sequined sky or perhaps…under Thor’s hammer’d sparks, creating the dreamers of another world, certainly one in Ingmar; and if I listen closely, I harvest skeins of light, that there is still poverty in what I know; but! the desire to attain more in the way of edification, through the soul of hunger…ah… Feed me, and I shall fill the moon with dreams. ~*~ After listening to an interview of Ingmar Bergman " It matters not this distance now " Excerpt, Yesterday's Love |

Sissie....It is wonderful to be inspired and to write something so wonderful from it that the inspirer would be proud to hear it. This is such a poem. |

The way it is written is so important here, and the subject matter is important too, but it is woven with skill and care and comes to life with seasoned knowledge..thank you..K... Goldenrose. |

Feed me, and I shall fill the moon with dreams. And so you do....not "shall", do. This extraordinary poem is a case in point! ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

Karilea, There's something hauntingly beautiful in this write and although I highlight the following, I know there is more. "there is still poverty in what I know; but! the desire to attain more in the way of edification, through the soul of hunger" And so shall it be given to those who seek. |

You were wonderfully inspired, dear Karilea. There are true heights in this poem, yes I am sure Ingmar is honored by your work ... because of course he now perceives everything interdimensionally ... ... nothing is ever lost! Love and hugs. Margherita |
