i should have risen early
when the sunlight blessed the water
when the clouds were driven westward
on a breezy blue sky morn
i should have seen the willows
on the crowded banks a swaying
while the geese and ducks were dozing
in the river’s flow at dawn
i was oh so far away though
i was floating in the heavens
i was chasing silver moonbeams
i was dancing with the spirits
i was ageless newly born
i saw the comet soaring
through the darkened night time velvet
i was mesmerized by brightness
with a feeling i was weightless
while the clock had long stopped ticking
there was nothing i was missing
there was nothing i was yearning
there is nothing here to mourn

Thank you dear Teddy. The marina lakes by the river can be so uplifting and this was a beautiful summer morning, except the best part was missed because lazy me slept in. Hope you have had a good Sunday. Wet and cold here š¹
I hear Leonard Cohen in this poem. Brilliant lyrics to a song. Wonderful words in a poem that paints a picture of beauty and serenity and sets the soul at peace. Loved this one Cassie.

You're welcome
Oh, indulgent sleep! Dearest visions and realms in which our spirits gaily soar beyond these mundane regions whose own delights we'd rather not miss. How you remind me of the chagrin culled in likewise missing treats I cherish for other transient joys. Charmingly rendered with daintily haunting poignancy and superb imagery. Thank you for sharing.
Many thanks Missy for your lovely visit to my page and the thoughts you have shared here. Warms my heart. Thank you.
Wonderful words Cassie, the glory of reality will be there when you return from your marvelous dreams.
