Dream of Oak

/

Just when I feel a lack of imagination, comes a dream. An unbidden act of vivid imagination pushing its message, its beauty, the unknown into the prefrontal cortex of a prosaic mind.

She is home, here and now
with breast thumping joy
I dare not breathe

Hold on to the scene 
docile and defenseless
prostrate in an ancient chamber

Polished floors reflect
the frosted lens of a door
silent and blurred figures deliver

Her handwritten poetry
beautiful and haunting 
gifts tucked under me safely

Careful now, slowly
I exhale but wait
Gone, gone again

I pace these ancient floors
smooth and dark and ageless
whorling thumbprints of oak 

Round and around, unblinking
counting, labyrinthing
my steps and wonder

How many more rounds
until a welcome knock
at that frosty door
