A Moment In Time....

Sleeping Beauties~ Moment in time.... As I reflected upon her picture; this fairytale revised ~ And how she disappeared so quickly Yet but a passing vision before my eyes Still not knowing, what it was about herself Or why, her name kept resounding throughout my mind?! For it seemed as though she had arisen out of nowhere Amid this enchanting allurement, which had drawn me unto her soul ~ Trying to envision her, within my far away thoughts.... Knowing although, that it did not matter, in which way she shown? Because it was her spirit that sparkled, her radiance unto me! Listening to her voice; like the silver soothing waters, of a gently flowing stream Her golden hair so glowing, as the rays of the rising sun Tall and perfect; with a smile shining, like those of polished pearls Eyes like transparent glass; bluer then the bluest skies A touch as soft as the clouds; and her skin, as smooth as a virgins flower! And as my lashes blinked, once more, it was then, that I could see her there.... Like a goddess of all man's dreams she was, flawless ~ Mesmerizing, her brilliance; as an Angel when she did appear As I bowed my head, and thought to myself, again How never I would of believed, that she, would have been the one.... But as a phantom which passes within the shimmering night Beyond, the frosted window pane of sight Before I had awakened, she was silently and suddenly gone Yet my eyes still glimmer at the thought, of how radiant she has become ~ While she dances away upon the waters of her moment I know now, that her beauty and her soul, shall forever glisten These portraits of her wonders, deep, inside of me Her~Like the stars within the heavens.... "Tis better to have lived and loved, then, to have never loved at all" Upon the stage of life; where she pirouettes like a princess Whirling within the winds of Eden; gleaming gracefully, as she turns ~ Smiling, as I watch her now; thinking, who would have ever known!? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sleeping Beauty, revived, amid a moment in time....

Wow sweet heartfelt John my friend you are a man shining in the doorway of doors. You tell a story of passion and truth yet so predicable but unpredictable? If you know what I mean. Yes I loved the line "Tis is better to have loved then never to have loved at all"! All men could learn from you, a shinning star of your own you are! You keep us all wondering what romantic story will come next! WELL DONE MY FRIEND! Love Laura :)

I read this poem and imagine I am looking at a canvas where everything is painted, and the fairy beauty of words will exists when my imagination falls from its stem. God bless you.
