MAGNIFICENCE, A Poem R.M. Engelhardt

R.M. ENGELHARDT POET AUTHOR WRITER

MAGNIFICENCE

The dreamer is a comedian
The comedian, the dream

The poet, a sage
A prophet something
Brought forth from the
Imagination of others

Ancient pages
Quietly sleeping
In old libraries

Waiting to be seen

Created from dust
And bone past lives
And the rhetoric of
Other days

The court jester
But not the king
The words but
Not the same

The light is given :

But the gift is wasted
Away

Without magic
Without faith

On the countless
Voices of mere moments

Instead of what could be
Magnificence

The dreamer is a comedian
The comedian, the dream

The comedian only
A reflection of these days

Waiting for some epiphany
To strike them on the page

Unknowing that
There is more to say

Than realized

hinc itur ad astra

Dream.
