Reverie (2)


Far over the mountains and lands away
Expands a voluptuous scene:
Lush valleys of dewy, silver-green
Where frivolous fairies play.

In meadows of velveteen moss and grass
The unicorns graze and browse,
While over the crimson-colored cows
Pterodactyls slowly pass.

So track the meandering, winding trail
That wends through your restive mind
Relaxing your weary eyelids, find
Your path to the dappled dale.

Lamia

The lady bade me linger for awhile Beside the cypress in the burying-yard. She fetched me to a graveside with her smile And set me on a marker cold and hard. She smiled. It all comes down to this, you know, That kings and merchants, each the same, Will sleep as brothers is a marble row Till mosses blanket over each proud name. I shivered mid-November air breathed chill And I looked down at my watch. The hour was late. I said, However much I d like to listen still, My appointment scheduled in the village cannot wait. She smiled and begged my pocket-knife from me, Then carved my name upon the cypress tree. 12-10-90 (04-18-80 Lamia)
