A David For David

He drifts among fireflies and splits the rain
A haze walking through Great Wall’s domain,
Twists of Copperfield’s runes whirls a relay
Under kliegs of stars, mind’s eye becomes prey.

Sweet alchemy washes real world’s strains
Where human life transcends the bleak of pain,
On enchanted tours, he eludes flames’ slay
Stuffing dreams with awe like quick pirouettes 
He drifts among fireflies.

Like our David whose challenges reclaim
True firmness blazing amidst night’s restraints,
His magic of hope strengthens with love’s gains
Miracles nourish through divine stream’s ray
With spirit lit by heaven’s grace, time obeys
He drifts among fireflies.


Dear David, may you continue to believe in the magic
 of fulfilled wishes and endless love

------------

*David Copperfield—renowned illusionist and magician

This is a truly brilliant write by you Nette! I really enjoyed this incredibly awesome and fully delightful poem that you have written here my good friend! David will surely love this poem dedicated to him! I enjoyed that you chose the illusionist David Copperfield as your David, I should have guessed you would choose such a mystical character to write from! I had a wonderful and a fiercely fearful night last night, Halloween! I was a demon, my wife was Death! It was a lot of fun! Great Work!!
