There I BE

Living in the veiled and ordinary world

My mind absconded my thoughts of Gold,

yellow ripples throughout my soul.

It dances and it jigs and sings a merry tune.

A pretty song with a lovely lilt,

filling my lungs with air so clean and feeling both breezy and serene.

I gather my thoughts in a basket of joy

and hurl them westward 

to enjoy.

I do not know who they be or where they come from,

perhaps from me?

Another place, another time 

these curious thoughts have crossed my mind

My mind, it winds a sinful dance

It's long and lean and it lasts.

It has no chance, of growing wise, of fruitful themes or otherwise.

It is sublime in all her glory

vaporizing right before me

He says goodbye and I to him

A splendid tryst has now dissipated 

I am not sad.

It was what I anticipated!
