Back To Delight [rev.] Poem by Margaret Alice Second

“That Happy Feeling” on repeat - expressing my
delight in beautiful rose-patterned containers I’ve
bought, a silver-white fan graces my hat-stand as
well as candles for the birthday cake; can’t wait to
use new silver filigree tape to frame my bedroom
mirror -

difficult to descend to earth with all these dreams
in my head; I float around reality not clogging my
view, crystal eyes with lace eyelids can’t focus on
anything less, sheer fabric enfolds a world of joy
in pearly shine - it can be used to redecorate my
mind –

daydream clouds - like misted pastel satin lines in
webs of silver-white filigree; I used to seek wisdom
in Proverbs for my sanctuary within and now the old
symbolism of purity lifts me up on wings of light and
song - so THIS is why Old Testament priests had to
wear special garments -

they delight in symbolism so much that they reduce
the whole universe to physical life; BUT there is the
most wonderful promises of other living dimensions
& more universes with life continuing within musical
vibrations which shine with a glorious light to attract
all lost elements -

back to delight…
