I Was Thinking I Was Dreaming

I was thinking

I was dreaming

the beautiful things we must not leave them

we carry them

we carry them forever 

though they dissolve on earth

we carry them, the loveliest,

from our birth

and the scarlet leaf

and the gold alternately

the silver planets 

our untold fortunes, gold of the slightest

moment, unfolding of the rose

that seems so long ago and yet

the fragrance of the rose

is with us yet.
