Poetry weaves its wondrous symmetry On drifting clouds of searing imagery Wandering in realms of magical vision Writ abstract on the naked imagination Voyaging upon infinite oceans of rhyme Beating rhythms of a sounding beauty In those hours before a dawning chorus Eclipsed the past of its dolorous song Shackling poetry to its ancient thrall The golden flower unchained the dream Of brilliance writ in luminous cadence Reaping in fields of solitary thought Traversing horizons of pure romance Gazing through time’s elliptical prism Upon curves of solid liquid geometry Flowing in streams of rippling sound Unfolding nature’s riotous harmonies In the lonely beauty of a single flower Surrendering unto landscape’s mirage Decanting words worth heavenly song Upon chalices of sweetened deliverance Dazzling nature by her purest reflection.
