Across Deep Streams

by Joseph J. Biernacki

​

There are those illusive moments when we feel we'd like to stay, a point in time, a place in space or just to chase a dream.

 

 

​

Across deep streams

And into dreams

Of forests and strange scenes.

I venture there

Where few would dare,

In search of fools and kings.

 

No stone for foot

Or rope to put

A leg or arm the span.

Just restlessness,

And senselessness,

And cause for cautious plan.

 

When there I spy

A zebra’s eye,

Through thorn and dappled oak.

I think I’ll stay

To chase the bray

But ne, a start, I woke.
