September's Ceremonial By Catherine Dibuono

As she stopped atop the terraced stairs her tiny ,yet sensual figure .seemed to take on a glow This beautiful woman, daughter of mine Was shining ,like a glistening gemstone of varying hues And all living things around her seemed to stop their daily chores And breath in her angelic beauty. She stood radiant in her snow-white glory. unaware of her glow Her long gauzy veil moved gently , ever so slightly As a breeze passed and uttered a sigh of admiration. The sun beamed down warmly as the puffy clouds paused . This was her day and all of nature stood enchanted As she seemingly floated down each step with natural grace All breathing seemed to stop , waiting for her entrance to complete her smile, so radiant with love and delight, emitting her innate beauty And the luminescent waters mirrored her beauty in natures surroundings. She walked in beauty , harmonious with nature on that day And all the Angels in the heavens stood enthralled, whispering softly As she floated along the green of Summer's carpet And the flowery petals opened wider to catch the colors of her beauty And watch Christine, the most elegant of flowers , on her ceremonial day.
