Just a wish
at break of day,
The stars are fading
in the gray

I will dream in darkness
beyond the sea
And this
is all the world to me

He waited to dream
his dream alone
No light save the stars
to guide him home

I love, love, LOVE this little dude. He’s a prehistoric, fossilized LOBSTERMAN.

Gently woke the sleeping skies,
Waiting for the moon to rise

For still the circle wider grew,
Home, by her rippling waters blue

Each one in a waking dream
stands alone by the rushing stream
On weary wing in binding grim
the lesser stars grow pale and dim

Dark-draped
dreamed the boat that bore
the fading sun
to the starlight shore

Count two in tracing
the raptured line
Of childhood’s faith
this is the shrine

Bright and reckless
sound the sorrowing bells
Till the threads of being
shot swift from soul to soul

collage

A song, a prayer,
A fleeting vow,
Fond memories gather
As I bow.

This is the first in another alphabet book of reworked poems by my very favorite Very Bad Poet, Wallace Bruce.
