MIDSUMMER NIGHT DREAM

 

MIDSUMMER NIGHT DREAM

Casting off the midsummer spells then

By honeyed moonlight planes in the painting shifting

The berrystained confusion

Let love be unfettered released like a dove to only God

The soul returning home

The names and places shifting to reveal

You loved only love as an ideal

Not as a place on the map

 and God is love and the characters in the play

Are figments

In the final season

Where the play has melted from the stage

And the mirrors and mirages abstain from dreaming.
