Tumbling

I think, though
count not ever say,
to my own satisfaction
an inside joke,,
That I have always dreamed of beauty
In one I built a library
a maze of endless texts
I which I whiled away, a gardener
And spoke in golden arcing pen
In another I sat waiting
At an unknow forest edge
Dense with mists, wine darkened
Round trees that clawed the heavens
and knew no mood or sun ahead
In one I gave my eye away
In another sailed the sea
But what I fail to word or meter
is how they're each the self-same dream
