Enchanted Voyage

Enchanted Voyage Aboard the Magnolia paddle steamboat Bound down the Mississippi River Carrying its precious cargo Daring anyone for a challenge on her beauty and speed Enchantment captivates guests of its breathtaking beauty a Fortune spent to showcase and entertain in its Grand elegant saloon with carved gilded mirrors Hanging far above glimmering crystal chandeliers with flickering candle flames Illuminating dramatic sparkling rainbow colors Jump and dance with the excitement of the room Keeping my place longing to melt into the Laughter of the guest I listen to Music that plays and sings its melody to the Night’s mysterious shimmering sky Obtaining consolation with Paced movement sounds of the paddle wheel that lulls me into serenity Quietly meandering slowly coursing down the muddy banks of the Mississippi River Riding down to its adjacent towns Savoring the faint breeze scents of the warm night air Teasing the romantic scenes Unique moonlight reflecting shadows cast by hanging limbs Vulnerable to the rendering of the imagination Whimsical Xebec shape illusion mysterious Xenomorphic behavior Yearning for a never ending voyage ride Zest only of pleasure © 7/10/2015 Xebec – small three-masted pirate ship xenomorphic - having a form not its own in an unusual form; having a strange form.
