Birds Eye View Poem by Valerie Dohren
Birds Eye View
Looking down through misty spheres
To visit wondrous lands
Hewn through time, through endless years,
Green fields and golden sands
With glist`ning spreads of sapphire blue
Unfolding `neath my gaze
Then lofty heights of sombre hue
Ascend through misty haze
Beneath the soft and feathered clouds
Rise peaks of emerald green
All topped above with twisting shrouds
Of mist, their tips unseen
And golden plains reach wide and long
Which sparkle in the sun
To then be licked by silv`ry tongues
With threads of silk unspun
Then hov`ring over range and heath
Where roaming creatures dwell
As veils of purple stretch beneath
Enrobing dale and fell
(And yearning, hopeless, specks of dust
Behind confining walls
Beset with envy, greed and lust
Chase dreams in concrete halls)
To fly where beams of gleaming light
On icy rises play
Where fields of pure and dazzling white
Meet deeps of steely grey
And here green curtains hang above
The apex of the world
Dancing as two wrapped in love
With glorious beauty swirled
Then soaring high, beyond, to go
Above all, looking down
At this `blue marble` set below
In her black velvet gown
Outstanding. Imaginatively insightful, Takes you on an incredibly enjoyable journey. A real pleasure to read, Valerie.
Such a beautiful poem... My soul soared and my heart raced as your words took me on a journey across a landscape of such a sublime dream... Thank you...
This has a lovely feel to it, reminiscent of the Romantic era of poetry. Pictures painted in words that take the reader on a flight through your world. As Eric wrote, the enclosed verse is so evocative as to provide a perfect counterpoint within the body ot the poem. Impressive.
