Word Wisdom.

Fay Slimm.

 

Word Wisdom.

 

Poets like me at times hitch
a slow ride
on some passing ideal where
behind screens
another reality exists hiding
behind the norm.

glowing in an authentic light

with shadowy guides

                    waiting word-wisdom to share.                   


Dreamland begins
where castles of moonstone
fly starry sign-posts,
naught can shade eager eyes
from mystic wonder

of unseen potential when roads

paved with words appear

between waking and sleeping. 

Nostalgic sighs
become agelessly scented with 
faith, dissolving fears
and mending bent fingers ideas
take wing steering
waves of letters to blank pages

filling lined spaces

to throw seemly enlightenment

to curious minds.


Mood rides high
as untied linguistic phrases free 
pens to delight reading
eyes in seeing imaged horizons
or captured alive

the draw of nature or the crying      

sad rhymes release

whenever a poetic Muse inclines 

ears toward writers.

    I agree that we often are sharing the wisdom of another reality in our poetry, Fay. Sometimes I am astounded at what comes through my pen. Kudos on this one!

    A fine write Fay.

  • Augustus

    I hope you can forgive the analogy : Willy Wonca in the intro is explaining to charley and others the mysteries behind the doors, a dream land of mystic wonder. Enjoyed.

    Very good write, that Muse has a great deal of wonderful ideas for us to explore.

      Yes without the Muse us poets would often be stuck for right words - thank you G. for your perceptive comment.
