The Ferryman

The Wondrous Dream

~

my mind’s eye sees the ferryman’s dory
soon I will be fast aboard

sailing on his skiff of dreams
the ferryman standing watch

soaring skyward untethered
‘mong the clouds of wonder

to magical mystical ports of call
where all imagined is in my grasp

if only I could stay the course…
but fast – daybreak approaches
and this dreamer will awaken

but caught still am I
in the final dream
conjured forth by the ferryman

spirit stirs to the distant voice
readies for the firmamental journey

one foot still in this mortal realm
soul resigned to embarkation

time folding in upon time
as slow you approach
the celestial light
