What Visions Have I?

By moonmama

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

What visions have I Velvet tipped sword Distant coloured shores I can barely discern While the river runs I stand still Through the looking glass Darkly Saw a ghost ship When it came to harbour It was a castle of clowns What visions have I Stars flicker and they fade Sands of time run faster than me I can't catch them You are there in a forest glen When I catch you You are the hart which cannot be tamed. What visions have I Crystal coloured sea Mermaid swimming Singing silently breaking glasses In the panes of a windowless church I can't hear her Yet I know She singsI wrote this one about three years ago just after waking from the most bizarre dream. It's very disjointed. By the way, I did mean to spell HART that way, because a hart is a male deer. Written April 13th, 1998 © on Dec 20 2001 02:19 PM PST   0 • 13
