Last Night's Fancy

...i wish my pen could capture last night's fancy,

flight of divergent apparitions took my breath away

hallucinations of a dream so real it made me weep

for i saw your face high above the clouds

you appeared as an angel with chimerical wings,  

in their flutter released thousands of butterflies

each one carried a smile of incandescent light

promised posies of an altered moment & space

where poetry becomes reality traced on lofty clouds

amidst trances of tranquility & enchanted frivolity

so here i await on ink's flow with a fool's faith

of glinting endings and freshly burnish'd beginnings...

There are those moments and dreamy escapes that the pen can't capture its essence and glory especially when it is about a special one in our lives. The time and space are surely altered for they reside in a different reality than ours. I think you have been touched by the transcedental nature of the spirit realm and you are feeling like a butterfly in the azure skies...Thank you for sharing ...:)......................

who can explain the way our mind works while we doze, I have had many conversations with my late Father and played cricket with him in the oddest of places....Your ability to describe your wonderful dream is to be applauded

[Frieda P]

Thanks doc, I don't have those wonderful dreams as often as I'd love to....

[Dr. Wood ?]

If only we could BOOK them in advance...I worked for a lady once who insisted that she could chose her dreams

[Frieda P]

If only...............

The universe wastes nothing during transformation.. death, butterflies, moments of indescribable light and peace - and love, especially love. You called to it in your dreams and it answered in a way that was especially for you. Nice to read you again, Frieda.

[Frieda P]

Nice of you to pause Tam, always enjoy hearing what you have to say about my poetry, thanks so much my friend.

"hallucinations of a dream so real it made me weep"- Dreams, comforting or not? A big question.

I enjoyed the imagery: butterflies, angels, wings...

[Frieda P]

Comforting in the moment, yes Diana, thanks so much for your thoughts.

Simply magic….

[Frieda P]

Why do magical moments have to end my friend, thanks so much Pryde.

[Pryde Foltz]

So we can truly appreciate them and new ones can form. But yeah, I feel you. The grief is hard to deal with.

And still beauty flows from your pen as it appears the darkness of the ink is lightening a bit. To find that your heart is lifted into a dream state is a wonderful thing. Oh how I have missed your words for my eyes have found only gtay in the mist. Happy a tiny ray of sun has peeked through and found me. And once more I sit amazed.

[Frieda P]

You're always too kind Jack, as you know I've been in a dark place lately, it's not easy getting back into the swing of things, I've missed you all, especially you my dear friend.
