Pondering

Once upon a twilight note
While the moon winked,
And the stars danced a jig,
I pondered, weak and weary.
I bowed nearly dreaming
With visions of sugar plums
And chocolate
Knowing it rest upon my tongue.
Once upon a sunrise song
While colors danced
And the clouds raced.
I pondered, weak and weary.
I stood half awake
With visions of diamonds
And gems
Knowing it rest upon my soul.
Once upon a moon less night
While darkness swelled
And the clouds consumed
I pondered, weak and weary.
I sat nearly frozen
With visions of icicles
And pops
Knowing it rest upon my heart.
Once day became night
Running together------
And dying embers wrought with ghost
Knowing I ponder, weak and weary.
Eagerly seeking answers to my questions
Never doubting for a moment
I find what I seek,
Yet with the dawning light
I find myself alone,
Pondering what I thought
And the truth here before me.
