Starlight in My Tresses

``
     
They  would  appear  it was  close to  the hour,
    I  waited   holding   my   breath.
        Millions  I  see  the waves  upon  the  sea,
            To   unfurl   the  view  ahead.


The  playful  wind   thumped  on my  shoulder,
    Under   their  freezing  touch  I  shivered.
        They  came  stars  in  herds,
            Showers  of  silver  descending  on  the  water.


Playing   over    the  waves  they  spread
      Their   glitter  all  over  the   sea.
           On  a  frosty  cold  night,  a crystal  silhouette  night; 
                They  spy  their   impish   eyes   on   me.

                
I  step  into  the  water ,                                           
     In  my  tiny  hands   to  gather   
         Silver dust sticking  all  over  my dress  as                           
               I  return  with  starlight  in  my  tresses.

    Such an enchanting read. With an experience like that, you wouldn't need those shampoos that promise really shiny hair! Kidding aside, thanks for sharing this, I enjoyed reading this very beautiful piece.
