Dreamers Work

Ponderous, wondrous and locked away

The still-life master and his peaceful face

Those days on, posers gone

Poets close, work till dawn

Their new gods, his sweet lord

Within nature, a deep accord

A dreamer's work, decades through

Held their dream up and made it true

Year after year, a natural force

Their attitudes or an open door

Year after year, a new way

The passages, an extended stay

Year aftеr year, revelations

Dantе, Baudelaire sublime creations

Year after year, they are learners

Beginners again, they’re the page turners

Year after year, perfect lines

Books of truths with broken spines
