Restless, like a wandering sprite

On a journey once found in a dream

Searching for an endless mysterious sight

Cast through the sky like a stream

Of magical orbs that shine in my eyes

Perhaps they’re the answers I seek

Or are they merely a quixotic guise

The power behind the mystique

Ever looking for resplendent glory

While wrestling with the ebony night

Hoping to find an end to this story

I awaken with morning’s first light

A golden orb
Illuminating the ebony sky
Peeking playfully
Through the branches of
Still barren trees

Allowing the mind
To let mystery unfold
As the full moon beckons
Those who know its call

Enchantment speaks to my soul, divine

In the forest, surrounding, tranquil, sublime

Mists in the trees, sing a melody sweet

An owl lands softly, on my shoulder, replete

And subtly whispers, without making a sound

Of mysteries found, on these hallowed grounds

Born of the legends, in this woodland, they thrive

Locked in my heart to, forever, survive

windows-1209555_960_720In the wee hours, she is awakened by three distinct knocks. Glancing at her husband, she scowls at him.  He is blissfully sleeping. Something is wrong. He’s usually the one who hears the noises. But not tonight. Tonight, only she is summoned by the hidden ones, who rustle you from a deep sleep, then disappear. Will they knock again?

Silence returns her to her journey back to dreamland, until, a whisper in the dark reminds her, not tonight. Tonight, she is the one who must answer the call. Disturbing no one, she gets out of bed, dons her robe and disappears into the darkness. Cursing under her breath, she closes the bedroom window, reminding  herself to tell her husband to cut the branch that keeps knocking against the pane, when it dances with the wind.

Fancy a dance, with the belle of the ball

She’ll twirl you around, so dizzy, you’ll fall

Straight into her charms, a guise, can’t you see?

This lovely young lady, is sheer mystery

You won’t get caught up, by her ribbons and lace

Beguiling, she captures,

With the look on her face

Piercing, her eyes, soften and yet

She still has you tangled, in her pirouette

Delicate beauty, who dances on air

She’s stolen your heart, with nary a care
