Example Poem
Morning's Gift (Morya's Double Lock)
I catch a fleeting
glimpse- a waking dream
of sirens frolicking
to start their day.
They're full of joy,
it seems that they're at play;
I want to join them
in the nearby stream.
I often wave with
hopes that one will stay
but they all vanish
in the rising steam.
They are but a
mirage, so it would seem,
but still I'm buoyed
by morning's brief ballet.
I don't despair
their passing from my sight
the morn is
brighter, sound now come awake;
as critter scamper,
pretty birds take flight.
If fantasy, or
optical mistake
it none-the-less
says things have started right.
and for a dreamer,
that's a decent break.
