CAPTIVATED

Like stardust

Sprinkled across

Sable skies

She dances along my path.

Gossamer wings fluttering

Softly as baby breath florals

With every graceful floating step.

Her lovely teeth

Peek from perfect lips

Brighter than the waning moon.

I hear her tease me

With a voice reminiscent

Of tinkling brooks

And melodious chimes.

Captivated by her charms

I find it easy to get lost

In sweet dreams day or night.

More beautiful

Than the purple heather

Of the grassy fields

I stand amazed.

What earthly boon or celestial award

That such a faerie princess

Would even visit me

For a protracted moment?

I see her beckon.

As I approach,

The flower of her scent

Calls to me like a siren’s song.

But where ancient seafarers’

Need beware,

I do not.

Instead I bask in the blessing

And feel awed that such a gift

Has come my way

To dance along the path of life

And share the adventures

That will surely come.

Date unknown.
