In Fields Of Blue Poem by Valerie Dohren

In Fields Of Blue

Rating: 5.0


In fields of blue I long to dwell
And frolic ‘neath the sun -
To mingle with the scented air
With each new day begun

Then yet to float within the mist
That lingers all around -
Be as a wraith, to drift and spin,
Above the rugg'ed ground

No substance to my earthly form
Nor weight to bear me down
As then I yearn to twist and turn
Draped in a silken gown

Be thus my senses unconfined
Within a mortal frame
Untethered from all things that own -
So like a dancing flame

To see and hear, to touch, inspire
The perfume of a rose -
Such fragrance sweet as angel`s breath
Diffusing as it grows

Then with the spirits of the land
My heart would so rejoice -
To ever chant their gentle lay
As in a single voice

So sing, O Shining Ones*, yes sing
Of joy, of hope, of love,
And I, with thee, will render thus
Sweet music from above

In fields of blue I long to dwell
My dreams abiding there -
Forever dancing through all time
With flowers in my hair



* Devas (nature spirits) .

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Superficially, the fields are of Cornflowers. At a deeper level, in Buddhism the Blue Lotus symbolises the victory of the spirit over the senses.

Oh to write with such words of beauty! I bend at knee, and remove my old hat in your honor, for truly you are a real and pure poet. I can find no other words nearly good enough...
