Imagination on Land and Sea

Imagination floats on streams of new questions,

whose shores lie against

lands of soft sounds 

beyond dawn’s song,

where many smiles bring solace.

 

We count each lovely small pool and pond, 

breathe into the noon,

find ourselves upon

a towering hill,

where we call away sadness,

then descend and 

walk along roads where all is well,

through towns full of dark,

but we focus on

streams of stars switched on,

remembering the best of those we love,

and dreaming how to keep them close.
