Great beauty, would she know--and great loneliness, too. [bodytext] => In what conscious dream does mankind dwell,
Wherein thoughts conceived of emotion's range
Proffer some stellar Creator
vicarious life?

For in those depths of space,
Where individuals burn bright
But closeness cannot exist,
Could not the chill of solitude
Pierce through to the fiery core
Of even the brightest of stars?

And what earthbound witness
Might perceive in her domain
Sorrow in the midst of beauty,
While forces yet uncontrolled
Unleash their cosmic residue
Despite eternal isolation?

If life did reside within that blazing heart,
And if sleep did overtake her unnurtured soul,
Would not her children's dreams
become her own? [comments] => 3 [counter] => 544 [topic] => 30 [informant] => Sagacious [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 23 [ratings] => 5 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => PoemsonBeauty )

Her Children's Dreams

In what conscious dream does mankind dwell,
Wherein thoughts conceived of emotion's range
Proffer some stellar Creator
vicarious life?

For in those depths of space,
Where individuals burn bright
But closeness cannot exist,
Could not the chill of solitude
Pierce through to the fiery core
Of even the brightest of stars?

And what earthbound witness
Might perceive in her domain
Sorrow in the midst of beauty,
While forces yet uncontrolled
Unleash their cosmic residue
Despite eternal isolation?

If life did reside within that blazing heart,
And if sleep did overtake her unnurtured soul,
Would not her children's dreams
become her own?

I love that your poems make me think, and I love what your poems make me think, and I loved these lines especially. (although the solitude was captured well too -

Very nice, indeed.

.....Sagacious, you have done it again, my friend... I am breathless and nothing is going through my mind except "Here is perfection." there is nothing more that i can say but the ladder, and how you have made me percieve things differently now... I thank you for this beautiful poem... all my love and respect...
