Lying asleep
Dreaming of things
That float and fly
On gossamer wings...
Visions of beauty -
(How is beauty defined?
A face that is pretty -
Is she gentle and kind?)
* * *
Dreams of the evening -
Lost in the morning
The glimpses of beauty
A now fading memory -
Only fragments remain
Until I dream
dream again...
