- Ethereal -

                               The water lily mirror is her window
                                     which she shares with frogs
                       In the woods, where wild flowers and herbs grow
                                      She greets the sun at dawn
                          washing his golden locks in the morning dew

                                            Few have seen her, 
                                    but many had heard about her
                                       The sound of willow whistle
                                  her song in an unfamiliar language
                                      - the same song every night
                            as a ritual perhaps component of a ceremony

                                   During the day she remains silent
                                  Her woven wings in ethereal beauty
                                     supernatural flies with the wind
                                    Nature provides us with answers 
                                        if we listen, look and believe

Joe Dimino Date: 9/12/2023 10:42:00 AM "She greets the sun at dawn washing his golden locks in the morning dew" -- Superb imagery. The entire poem is beautiful. Not too fantastical for me, for I have seen fairies and angels, have sat with mystical guardians (a spectator only) and believe in their eternal purpose more than the seasonal, time-stamped, so called real around me. k4u Login to Reply Anne-Lise Andresen Date: 9/13/2023 12:45:00 AM - I have seen them too, Joe :) - Many thanks for your comment :) - hugs
