Have You Ever Seen A Vision?

I thought I saw you today

as I looked into the

dress shop window

a face was looking back at me

a slight smile was there

that drew me in

I longed to reach and touch you

as your face was turning away

but, it was then I realized

you weren't there, just a hope

that tricked my silly heart

    I think perhaps I have once or twice

    this is a sweet little poem

    and I still see Lanny the way he was

    that day on the dock as the sun went down

    not knowing I'd never

    see him again day he came to say goodbye

    the memory makes my eyes to go moist

    Hi Shirley.. A cute little poem this is. No, I haven't seen a vision, but I believe the effects of such an intense sentimental situation are rather non-visible or tangible but conceived. To reach for something mentally, is for some philosophers a level that grasps a "real" world, that of the ideas. This was expressed by Plato, and the love felt through that mental process, was called "Platonic". Christianism was based on Platonic principles, that's why the C. theory was called by many Neo-Platonic. The feeling to "comprehend" of something "loving" is quite normal and most people have felt it. Thank you, G.
