Amethyst Zest

I find myself wishing for a portal
entering a far off fairy tale land;
To begin a wild adventure unplanned,
I follow a Sun not gold but purple;  
High in the sky an amethyst circle 
shines a fetching glow on emerald sand;
Limits on possibility are banned,
eyes open I’m no longer immortal;

I rub the fantasy out of my eyes
and smile at how life is such a gamble;
Reality is it’s own brand of quest;
Deadly lingers in Earthly paradise,
toxic can lurk in a fertile ramble;
Fortune favors logic flavored with zest.

Dear Melani, your poem is a captivating journey into the realms of imagination and reality. The imagery of a far-off fairy tale land, guided by a sun of amethyst hue, evokes a sense of wonder and adventure. Yet, your reflection on the limitations of possibility and the unpredictability of life grounds the reader in the complexities of reality. I loved the juxtaposition of fantasy and pragmatism, which offers a thought-provoking exploration of the human experience. Brilliantly crafted! - Blessings, Daniel
