I dreamed the beautiful world had come
the one we almost remembered
to go through when we were little
through a playhouse door
painted pink and green
into the Beautiful Quite Unseen
and back again when the sun rose on the shore.
I dreamed we couldnt believe our eyes
and it was such a beribboned surprise
when it never stopped being only sunrise
and we stayed awake all day
after hearing the music play
the music we heard on Christmas Night and Day
and Christ was born and all the world remade
and Spring in Winter no Winter in Spring
could overstay its welcome ever Again.
and we were laughing in Aprils
in the flowers up to our chins.
