I DREAMED THE BEAUTIFUL WORLD HAD COME

 

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.
