In a secluded forest glade <br /> the interplay of light and shade, <br /> as sunlight filters through the trees. <br /> Gives rise to pleasant fantasies. <br />The muted light has qualities <br />which redefine realities <br />I’m half convinced that I must be <br />submerged beneath a sunlit sea. <br />Here somnolent as in a trance <br />I watch the mermaids stately dance <br /> a sight which fills me with delight <br />I know it’s just a trick of light. <br />But I don’t care I’m happy there. <br />Reality cannot compare. <br /> <br />9-Oct-07<br /><br />ivor or ivor.e hogg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/drifting-and-dreaming-for-m-lady-ernestine/
