once every hundred years
it rises from the mists
shimmering
in utopian glory
those who wander in and stay
flourish
embraced by Love’s presence
unrestrained
those who arrive
in its morning
and depart again at its dusk
ever after hunger
for a vision
nameless
just out of reach
Brigadoon II
once
every hundred years
what do you make of it?
