Poet

in a vision from the one
who sailed the endless sea
water water everywhere
but none for you or me -

liquid lapping soul entrapping
rhythms felt today
micro- macroscopic rapping
beings here at play -

in Xanadu a pleasure dome
decreed by Kubla Khan
shimmered in a vision
from a poet now long gone -

in Xanadu the waters flowed
through incense bearing trees
flowers filled with butterflies
and buzzing bumblebees -

time was measured by the Sun
and by the Moon at night
by the stars so far away
shining oh so bright -

time was measured by the mind
in thoughtfalls slow cascade
time was measured by the love
through us which was made

in a vision from the one
who sailed the endless sea
Xanadu comes back to life
just for you and me
