the mind was filled with clouds, angels, harps
with vintage valentines, while waiting in line
or for the next blow
the mind below deck was calm and through the portholes
chose the amethyst seas.
do you remember these?
and children, staring at the lights
saw faery wings.
it wasn't so long ago.
you brushed the snow off their carcoats
so Christmas could begin.
oh lost and the stained glass broken
where the thieves broke in
to steal the magnitude of stars
remember Whose you are
and do not sin.
by counting those more settled than you are.
your mind fills up with wings with Florentine things
with advents of the brightest kind.
and there's still time
before you go.
for evermore dreaming.
beyond all the seeming
