DreamBird

 The makings of a mind are threads of thought
 That weave a web --- coherent consciousness ---
 To conjure and control the fire of soul.
 By day the bonds are stout, the spirit pale;
 Sure spells confine the flame within her cage
 Of reason, logic, memory, and fact ...

 Until soft darkness comes to cut the cords
 That bind the bright beast tight. See how she turns,
 Unfolds and spreads her wings, and grows, and glows!
 She leaps to flight and joins the shining flock:
 Dark dreams that dance the sky and sing the songs
 Of creativity and life and love.
