Poetic Mysteries

Far and distant

Deep and withdrawn

I know I mustn't be so

 

But I can bring a dream

Or a realm of magic

To the surface of my soul

 

Still deep and unseen

I give a few words in only a rhyme

A spirit is keen

A moment only time

 

But the stories unfold

Fulfilling words flowing

Following courses untold

Stillness at realms glowing

 

I'll make the moon turn

Build an island in oceans of dreams

Bring fire and make the sun burn

Through simple phrases of light beams

 

Coming a bit closer

Deep and willing to share

Where my soul flies

 

I can bring a sigh

Having melody underneath

And innocently wise

 

Faraway but not unknown

I know a million histories

And so near, so close

They come, these poetic mysteries
