Visionary Poetry Poem by DM W

Visionary poetry is a lightning flash
Of wild creation. It suddenly emerges
From dark, heavy clouds of profound contemplation,
And enables us to grasp the subtle textures,
Forms and colours of life's strange, inherent meanings;
Albeit briefly. It seems obscure, but it is
Clear when examined closely. It makes us look at
The familiar with fresh, curious eyes and it
Opens our hearts and minds to possibilities.
It suggests worlds within worlds and dreams within dreams.
And it contains the cadences and the rhythms
Of the universe. It traces the slow drift of
Distant, fading stars and draws deeply from the weight
Of past ages, yet always looks to the future.
