Midnight epiphanies
when the brain runs free
imagination unfettered
presents wonderful visions
of serendipity….
unlikely things in likely places
glorious in new surroundings
Why not cradle
a swan in a hat, I say
let them all float off
on a cloudy day
Serendipity!
Serendipity indeed! LOVE this! :) Sometimes, it is balm to the soul to just let the mind wander. And sometimes, the child in us can come out in the images we see. I do think in these trying times, it is good to just let the mind wander to magical places :)
ReplyDeleteAh... the swan made me think of Lela though.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful, Bev! I love; "imagination unfettered presents wonderful visions of serendipity…." Yes!
ReplyDeleteLove this! I smiled at the last stanza. I love the plethora of imagery there.
ReplyDeleteI almost wrote to this one. Such a lovely picture! This line is magical: "unlikely things in likely places" ingredients that give serendipity its savor.
ReplyDeleteDreamy work, Beverly. Floaty.
ReplyDeleteI love the freedom of this... I say let it be!!!
ReplyDeleteLove this Bev... :)
ReplyDeleteI think it's good to let the brain run free. One never knows what will be found.
ReplyDeleteYou captured this painting very well. I love the dream of unlikely things in likely places.
ReplyDeleteYou are the first poet to choose this image, and I love what you've done with it, celebrating the serendipitous power of dreams!
ReplyDeleteSerendipity is one of my favourite words, Bev, and what a coincidence that you chose the image with a sawn – on my walk yesterday morning, where I saw quite a few ‘unlikely things in likely places’, I took a photo of a pair of swans in a stream! But I would not attempt to cradle a swan in a hat, they are vicious and all the swans in England belong to the Queen.
ReplyDeleteAnd why not indeed!
ReplyDeleteThis so good, I really enjoyed your poem, thank you. The two seem as though they always lived together.
ReplyDeleteI love this. So much fun--midnight epiphanies. Why not? 😀
ReplyDeleteWhimsical dreams can be a welcome change.
ReplyDeleteYour poem (and the party hat) invoke a celebration, Bev!
ReplyDeleteUnlikely things in likely places...what a great thought!
ReplyDeletei like this flight of fancy
ReplyDeleteDelightful...❤️
ReplyDeleteVery nice and peaceful
