lotus eaters

[desmond dillon]

    

   

.

  i can give the poesy back to you  

as it was given to me 

and can i do it anyway i choose ?

for those with eyes to see

with heartfelt love, best wishes

to most sincerely offer you

                  a

welcome to the land of the lotus eaters

gathering the dust from the carpet beaters

beating magic carpets before they treat us

with carpet slippers for the lotus eaters feet.

   

Now we can fly as the carpets  do

flying to the land where the lotus bloom

to continue fulfilling life.

heading for the shores of never beyond

to awaken eternity that sleeps.
