I curried favor with celestial saints
to be loosed of worldly restraints
to join the stars in their galaxy
where my impulses could be set free
I want to surf the indigo night
to find the realms of pure delight
where true love reigns without spite
aglow like diamonds shining bright
embracing everlasting vision of dreams
dressed in shimmering moonlight gleam
to awake in sunlights warming rays
in lucent waterfalls to bathe and play
to explore the universe in all its ways
no longer counting twenty four hour days
to seek higher modes of learning I beseech
that there will be no horizon I can't reach

Beautiful writing! I would be proud to have authored this one!
And thanks for all the reviews.
Dear Eileen, I was with you while reading your great poem, I regret that this one was only a dream. But no worry, those who are prepared will see what what no eye ever saw. Beware of the attraction of physical light which leads to the abyss. Love Emile
incredible "celestial rhyme" by a master poet mistress! And "to curry the favor of celestial saints" they certainly will respond and help-- on a journey WE must ALL make sooner or later and few prepare for...
A lovely picture of a free spirit searching
for beauty and inspiration. Yearning for the wings
to fly above it all and taste the pure waters
of supernal inspiration. Nice o-chum-o-mine!
Blessings ...

What an experience that would be, Eileen. "to find the realms of pure delight / where true love reigns without spite" is at the top of the list to discover, but the rest isn't shabby either . . .
Such a beautiful wish and dream...but no need to rush. We all will be there one day and fly free and even recognize each other. I enjoyed it a lot,

Very "dreamscape" like. Fine meter and rhyme scheme. My teacher always called me a clock watcher. It's a hard habit to break. Patrick
