It’s is a love poem -the true form of love, without the make up. It’s just so human, so readily recognized by all who have ever loved another.
To: All
The castle dragons in their flight
ruled the realm both day and night
by legions they occupied the air
guarding everyone inside her walls
from ground assaults and ugly toads.
Their graceful flight in open air
nary a scale touching ground
the castle dragons in control
kept the wizards in a daze
as in and out of foggy mist
they sailed on through in lofty pose
as twilight entered unopposed.
The guard remained until one
obtained a writ to break the dawn.
The sound was loud from a thunder cloud
as the castle woke to see
the castle dragons one by one
alit into their cave.
There they slept while the castle kept
the business of the day.
Dusk awoke the owl
to the dragons he spoke
and ordered them to fly away.
Day by day, left by right
the winged dragons took their flight
lifting, flowing, soaring in the wild
evil’s door to not open its poison within.
Castle guards they be then and now in
a invisible realm seen to those who look
for dragons in the clouds.

Titania Sleeping by Cowper

Thanks to Hank for this one...
Ultima Thule
Dedication to G. W. G.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
With favoring winds, o'er sunlit seas,
We sailed for the Hesperides,
The land where golden apples grow;
But that, ah! that was long ago.
How far, since then, the ocean streams
Have swept us from that land of dreams,
That land of fiction and of truth,
The lost Atlantis of our youth!
Whither, ah, whither? Are not these
The tempest-haunted Orcades,
Where sea-gulls scream, and breakers roar,
And wreck and sea-weed line the shore?
Ultima Thule! Utmost Isle!
Here in thy harbors for a while
We lower our sails; a while we rest
From the unending, endless quest.

Meg, I love Cowper’s paintings. Another winner.
He is into mythical females, and folklore. Makes it fine for me. I never hit the ground. ;)

My sister and her husband are here visiting for a few days. Yesterday they ventured out on their own to visit downtown and the museum. Today they are out, on their way to Girdwood/Alyeska/Portage. *HUGS*
