Spell for me a picture
Form with font of ink
Morning mutely moving
Dark awry with pink
Whisper with word-wonder
Meadows plush with plume
Bergamot and bell-flow’r
Pouring out their bloom
Pen upon plain paper
That which steals our sighs
Paint a poem-picture
Of love’s laughing eyes
…and where fall has fallen
Press upon the page
Frozen fallow flecked with
Silvered sedge and sage
Draw for me a doorway
To a land of dreams
Where wild havens flower
Beneath sapphire streams
…and the hour tinctures
By the pow’r of word
Picture over picture
That a pen has stirred
I'm reading the journals of L.M. Montgomery.
Even in her youth she had the gift of being able to pen powerful pictures!
