Dreamed or imagined
she appears
as again he lies alone
in that borderland
between sleep and waking.
Night’s cold embrace
gently enfolds him
as still he lies alone and
she appears
dreamed or imagined.

Shire on the Hudson
For days beyond counting, he had
wondered,
imagined,
dreamed
of the moment.
To his delight, to his surprise,
when the moment finally arrived, it
surpassed wonder,
outstripped imagination,
exceeded dreams.
Now memory ever gently
mingles with wonder,
stirs imagination,
fills dreams,
until the next moment.
