Across a mind in dream a form
hovered as white diamond light
bedazzled by the entity;
belief and trust and loyalty.
Who once upon a purple time
when footsteps fell on sodden ground
and absolute; fair gaze intense
conveyed a word and all it meant.
The word of import for mankind
a little wisdom hard to find
and keep and hold in all men's hearts
until death comes and we depart.
Across a famished soul in dream
hovered as white diamond light;
belief and trust and loyalty
without verification: Indefinitely.
For Alan and Joan Berry.
A dream.
