Fantasy

by Gwendolyn Bennett

Her voice is like clear water

That drips upon a stone

In forests far and silent

Where Quiet plays alone.
Her thoughts are like the lotus
Her kisses are the roses

The glow while dusk is deep

In Persian garden closes

Where Quiet falls asleep.

"Fantasy" by Gwendolyn Bennett

Abloom by sacred streams

Beneath the temple arches

Where Quiet sits and dreams.
